Abstract

We investigated the properties of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films oxidized in inductively coupled plasma (ICP) and the characteristics of poly-Si thin film transistors (TFTs) with an ICP/LPCVD gate oxide. The ICP oxidation reduced the interface traps and passivated dangling bonds by hydrogen incorporation. The ICP oxidation did not change the roughness of the Si/SiO2, while thermal oxidation increased the roughness largely. The characteristics of the TFTs with ICP/LPCVD oxide were improved due to the reduced interface trap density.
