  • Patent number: 6482682
    Abstract: The invention discloses a manufacturing method for improving the reliability of polysilicon thin film transistors to solve electric leaking problem due to the roughness of polysilicon layer surface. In the thin film transistor manufacturing process, a polysilicon layer surface is oxidized to produce a silicon oxide layer which is then removed by an etching solution. This method can planarize bumps on the polysilicon layer generated due to re-crystallization so as to effectively lower the roughness of the polysilicon surface, thus increasing the reliability of thin film transistors.

  • Patent number: 6475835
    Abstract: A method for forming a thin film transistor (TFT) is disclosed. The invention uses metal electroless plating or chemical displacement processes to form metal clusters adjacent the sidewall of amorphous silicon active region pattern so as to crystallize the amorphous silicon amid the subsequently performed metal induced lateral crystallization (MILC) process. The amorphous silicon is crystallized to form polysilicon having parallel grains. Since the amorphous silicon will crystallize with a specific angle which is measured between the grain orientation and the side wall of the amorphous silicon, a tilt channel connecting the source and drain region of the TFT is utilized to upgrade the electron mobility across the tilt channel, wherein the grain orientation of polysilicon in the tilt channel perpendicular to a gate electrode which is subsequently formed above the tilt channel.
