  • Patent number: 6989299
    Abstract: A method for fabricating on-chip spacers for a TFT panel exposes a photoresist layer on top of the TFT panel using two exposure processes, one through the bottom of the TFT and the other through a mask over the TFT panel. The exposure process through the bottom exposes all photoresist covering windows on the TFT panel and leaves all photoresist corresponding to an opaque grid corresponding a TFT driving circuit. A second exposure process through a mask above the photoresist leaves part of the photoresist in the opaque grid unexposed. The exposed photoresist is removed leaving on-chip spacers only on the opaque grid. Therefore, the on-chip spacers can not affect the display quality and can be easily formed on a high dpi TFT panel.

  • Patent number: 6861301
    Abstract: A method of forming a thin film transistor on a transparent plate. A silicon layer having an active area is provided. A first ion implantation is performed to form a deeper doped region in the silicon layer. A second ion implantation is performed to form a shallower doped region in part of the silicon layer. A transistor structure is formed on the silicon layer located at the active area. A glass plate is formed on the transistor structures. An annealing process whose temperature is about 200° C.˜600° C. is performed to peel the silicon layer from the deeper doped region and the shallower doped region, and to form a silicon thin film adhered to the transistor structure. Thus, the silicon thin film transistor can be formed on the glass plate without a high temperature process.

  • Publication number: 20040164299
    Abstract: A reflective type thin film transistor display device and methods for fabricating the same is disclosed. The fabrication process includes a first substrate, multiple layers of thin film transistor built on the top layer over the substrate, multiple layers of metal reflector on the periphery of the thin film transistor, and a second substrate, wherein the metal reflector and the thin film transistor are transferred onto the second substrate by a back-end fabrication process to cause the thin film transistor to be exposed on the back end. The metal reflector is formed in between oxide layers and coated with aluminum material on the back side. Since the back side of the reflective display device is not subjected to any etching process or oxidation at high temperature, it is fully flat for a reflective surface after turning over by the back-end fabrication process.

  • Publication number: 20040160544
    Abstract: A method for fabricating multilayer storage capacitors of an LCD panel is disclosed. For a two-layer storage capacitor, the structure includes a thin film transistor region over a first substrate, a pixel electrode disposed on the periphery of the thin film transistor region, and a plurality of oxide layers. The oxide layers have data lines and gate lines, wherein the crossover of each gate line and data line corresponds to the position of a pixel electrode. An oxide layer can be added between the pixel electrode and the first substrate for creating a three-layer storage capacitor, wherein the shielding layer or semiconductor active layer is connected to the gate line. Having a small interlayer gap between the transparent electrode layer and the first metal layer and no cross talk, the capacitance of the storage capacitor can be considerably increased.

  • Patent number: 6777309
    Abstract: The present invention makes it possible to transfer thin film devices such as integrated semiconductor and optical components from a first substrate onto a second substrate through a thermal process at high temperature, without degradation of device performance. Other devices can be fabricated thereafter on the other side of the second substrate. Since the semiconductor and optical components can be transferred onto the second substrate in a single-step thermal process, in comparison with prior art the number of transfer substrates needed in the fabrication process can be effectively reduced, thus simplifying the fabrication process and realizing cost reduction.

  • Patent number: 6670224
    Abstract: A manufacturing method of a thin film transistor (TFT) having low serial impedance is described. The method uses a back-side exposure and uses the active area as a hard mask; therefore, photomask usage may be reduced. On the other hand, a Si-Ge layer is used to react with the conductive layer deposited thereon after for forming a Ge-salicide layer. The method may reduce the required temperature of forming a Ge-salicide layer and the serial impedance.
