Abstract

Single-crystal silicon thin films on glass (SOG) and on fused-quartz (SOQ) were prepared using wafer bonding and hydrogen-induced layer transfer. Thinfilm transistors (TFTs) were subsequently fabricated. The high-temperature processed SOQ TFTs show better device performance than the low-temperature processed SOG TFTs. Tensile and compressive strain was measured respectively on SOQ and SOG. Consistent with the tensile strain, enhanced electron effective mobility was measured on the SOQ TFTs.
