초록

Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistors (TFT's) employing vertical amorphous silicon (a-Si) offsets have been fabricated without additional photolithography processes. The a-Si offset has been formed utilizing the poly-Si grain growth blocking effect by thin native oxide film during the excimer laser recrystallization of a-Si. The ON current degradation of the new device after 4 hour's electrical stress was reduced by 5 times compared with conventional poly-Si TFT's.
