Investigations of Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation Hydrogenation for Poly-Si Tfts Using an Inductively Coupled Plasma Source
Keyword(s):
AbstractA plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII) hydrogenation process using an inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) source is implemented for defect passivation in polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFT's). Device parameter improvement saturates in 4 minutes, which is considerably shorter than for other reported hydrogenation methods. Stress test indicates that the devices hydrogenated by this novel technique have much better long-term reliability. The hydrogenation effects on two types of trap states are analyzed the current-voltage characteristics of the devices. The densities of deep states and tail states are significantly reduced after short time hydrogenation.
