  • Abstract
    The off state current for polysilicon thin-film transistors for pixels in LCDs has been successfully reduced by introducing a polysilicon buffer layer between a polysilicon active layer fabricated by solid-phase-crystallisation (SPC) and a fused quartz substrate. Off-slate current of less than 1 pA under Vgs=-25 V at Vds=3 V was obtained for n-channel single-gate coplanar transistors using the buffer layer (400 Å)
