  • Patent number: 8143623
    Abstract: A thin film transistor and a manufacturing method thereof are provided. An insulating pattern layer having at least one protrusion is formed on a substrate. Afterwards, at least one spacer and a plurality of amorphous semiconductor patterns separated from each other are formed on the insulating pattern layer. The spacer is formed at one side of the protrusion and connected between the amorphous semiconductor patterns. Later, the spacer and the amorphous semiconductor patterns are crystallized. Subsequently, the protrusion and the insulating pattern layer below the spacer are removed so that a beam structure having a plurality of corners is formed and suspended over the substrate. Then, a carrier tunneling layer, a carrier trapping layer and a carrier blocking layer are sequentially formed to compliantly wrap the corners of the beam structure. Hereafter, a gate is formed on the substrate to cover the beam structure and wrap the carrier blocking layer.

  • Publication number: 20100133544
    Abstract: A thin film transistor (TFT) includes a poly-silicon island, a gate insulating layer, a gate stack layer, and a dielectric layer. The poly-silicon island includes a source region and a drain region. The gate insulating layer covers the poly-silicon island. The gate stack layer is disposed on the gate insulating layer and includes a first conductive layer and a second conductive layer. A length of the first conductive layer is less than a length of the second conductive layer. The dielectric layer covers the gate insulating layer and the gate stack layer, and therefore a number of cavities are formed between the second conductive layer and the gate insulating layer.
