AbstractThin film transistors(TFT) in microcrystalline and amorphous Si require high quality gate insulators that can be grown at low temperatures. In this paper, we show that one can oxidize Si wafers to produce high quality fluorinated silicon dioxide gate insulator using a low pressure remote plasma. The insulating film was grown on c-Si substrates using a low pressure ECR oxygen plasma, with small quantities of fluorine added to the mixture. Helium was used as the carrier gas for both oxygen and fluorine. The growth temperatures were in the range of 400–450 C. MOS type capacitors were made to judge the quality of the oxide/semiconductor interface, and interface defect densities were measured using capacitance-voltage techniques. It was found that when no fluorine was present in the oxide, the interface defect density was ∼1-2 x 1011/cm2 eV. The addition of F2 to oxygen immediately reduced the defect density by an order of magnitude, to ∼1.5 x 1010/cm2eV. The addition of more F2 slowly increased the defect density. Thermal cycling measurements showed that the semiconductor/oxide interface is very stable under cycling.

In this study, stretchable organic–inorganic hybrid thin-film transistors (TFTs) are fabricated on a polyimide (PI) stiff-island/elastomer substrate using blends of poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and oxide semiconductor In-Ga-Zn-O as the gate dielectric and semiconducting layer, respectively. Carrier mobility, Ion/Ioff ratio, and subthreshold swing (SS) values of 6.1 cm2 V−1 s−1, 107, and 0.2 V/decade, respectively, were achieved. For the hybrid TFTs, the endurable maximum strain without degradation of electrical properties was approximately 49%. These results correspond to those obtained in the first study on fabrication of stretchable hybrid-type TFTs on elastomer substrate using an organic gate insulator and oxide semiconducting active channel structure, thus indicating the feasibility of a promising device for stretchable electronic systems.

AbstractSilicon nitride films prepared by low temperatures are widely applicable as gate insulator films of thin film transistors of liquid crystal displays. In this work, silicon nitride films are formed around 300 °C by deposition and direct nitridation methods in a catalytic chemical vapor deposition system. The properties of the silicon nitride films are investigated. It is found that, 1) the breakdown electric field is over 9MV/cm, 2) the surface state density is about 1011cm−2eV−1 are observed in the deposition films. These result shows the usefulness of the catalytic chemical vapor deposition silicon nitride films as gate insulator material for thin film transistors.
