Abstract

A short channel polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor (poly-Si TFT), which has single grain boundary in the center of channel, is reported. The reported poly-Si TFT employs lateral grain growth method through aluminum patterns, which acts as a selective beam mask and a lateral heat sink during the laser irradiation, on an amorphous silicon layer. The electrical characteristics of the proposed poly-Si TFT have been considerably improved due to grain boundary density lowered. The reported short channel poly-Si TFT with single grain boundary exhibits high mobility as 222 cm2/Vsec and large on/off current ratio exceeding 1 × 108.
