Abstract

In this paper, we propose a new fabrication method for poly-Si TFTs with a self-aligned offset gated structure by employing a photoresist reflow process. Compared with the conventional poly-Si TFTs, the device is consist of two gate electrodes, of which one is the entitled main gate where the gate bias is employed and the other is the entitled subgate which is separate form both sides of the main gate. The poly-Si channel layer below the offset oxide is protected form the injected ion impurities for the source/drain implantation and acts as an offset region of the proposed device. The key feature of oru new device is the offset region due to the offset oxide. our experimental reuslts show that the offset region, due to the photoresist reflow process, has been sucessfully obtained in order to fabricate the offset gated poly-Si TFTs. The maximum ON/OFF ratio occurs at the L$_{off}$ of 1.1${\mu}$m and exceeds 1X10$^{6}$.
