  • Publication number: 20050130357
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor. An amorphous silicon thin film is formed on an insulating substrate, and is crystallized by a lateral solidification process with illumination of laser beams into the amorphous silicon thin film to form a polysilicon thin film. Next, protrusion portions protruding from the surface of the polysilicon thin film are removed by plasma dry-etching using a gas mixture including Cl2, SF6 and Ar at the ratio of 3:1:2 to smooth the surface of the polysilicon thin film, and the semiconductor layer is formed by patterning the polysilicon thin film. A gate insulating film covering the semiconductor layer is formed and a gate electrode is formed on the gate insulating film opposite the semiconductor layer.

  • Publication number: 20040219768
    Abstract: A mask for crystallization of amorphous silicon to polysilicon is provided. The mask includes a plurality of slit patterns for defining regions to be illuminated. The plurality of slit patterns are formed along a longitudinal first direction and the mask moves along a longitudinal second direction. The first longitudinal direction is substantially perpendicular to the second longitudinal direction. Each of the split patterns is deviated apart by substantially a same distance from another. Thus, the polysilicon using the mask are grown to be isotropic with respect to the horizontal and vertical directions.

  • Publication number: 20040140566
    Abstract: The Mo or MoW composition layer has a low resistivity of less than 15 &mgr;&OHgr;cm and is etched to have a smooth taper angle using an Al alloy enchant or a Cr enchant, and the Mo or MoW layer is used for a wiring of a display or a semiconductor display along with an Al layer or a Cr layer. Since the Mo or MoW layer can be deposited so as to give low stress to the substrate by adjusting the deposition pressure, a single MoW layer can be used as a wiring by itself. When contact holes are formed in the passivation layer or the gate insulating layer, a lateral etch is reduced by using polymer layer, an etch gas system using CF4+O2 can prevent the etch of the Mo or MoW alloy layer, and an etch gas of SF6+HCl (+He) or SF6+Cl2 (+He) can form the edge profile of contact holes to be smoothed.
