  • Patent number: 6800874
    Abstract: A CMOS process for double vertical channel thin film transistor (DVC TFT). This process fabricates a CMOS with a double vertical channel (DVC) structure and defines the channel without an additional mask. The DVC structure of the CMOS side steps the photolithography limitation because the deep-submicrometer channel length is determined by the thickness of gate, thereby decreasing the channel length of the CMOS substantially.

  • Patent number: 6548332
    Abstract: A process for forming a thin film transistor includes steps of (a) forming a gate on a portion of a substrate, (b) forming a gate dielectric layer, a semiconductor layer, a source, a drain, and a passivation in order on the substrate, and (c) proceeding a thermal treatment under atmosphere of a specific assistant gas. The specific assistant gas is one selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, steam, inert gases, and gas mixtures thereof. After providing the specific assistant gas during the thermal treatment, the process can improve the output property of the thin film transistor for avoiding double hump phenomenon.

  • Patent number: 6448158
    Abstract: A method of patterning an indium tin oxide (ITO) layer is performed on a glass substrate. First, using sputtering, an amorphous ITO layer is deposited on the glass substrate. Then, using excimer laser annealing (ELA), the amorphous ITO layer within a predetermined pattern is turned into a crystalline ITO layer. Finally, using an etch solution, the amorphous ITO layer outside the predetermine pattern is removed.

  • Patent number: 5153142
    Abstract: A method and resulting structure is described for fabricating a thin film transistor which very effectively uses ITO as its transparent electrode. The method begins by providing a suitable substrate and forming thereover a polysilicon layer. A gate insulator layer is formed upon the polysilicon layer. A gate electrode layer is formed over the gate insulator layer. The gate electrode and gate insulator layers are then patterned to leave the desired gate insulator and gate electrode for the thin film transistor. An insulating layer is formed over the top surface of the structure. The isolating layer is patterned to provide openings to the designated source/drain regions of the thin film transistor. A conductive layer is deposited to make electrical contact to the source/drain regions of the thin film transistor. A silicon nitride passivation layer is formed over the conductive layer. The silicon nitride passivation layer is patterned to leave portions of the conductive layer open.
