  • Abstract
    The use of an inline furnace has been evaluated for solid phase crystallisation (SPC) of amorphous silicon films to improve throughput without sacrificing thin-film transistor performance. An attempt was made to develop the SPC process at temperatures of 700°C without causing any glass distortion. The characteristics of a fabricated p-channel active material exhibited a field effect mobility of 16.9 cm2/Vs, a threshold voltage of -4.6-V and a subthreshold swing of 0.9-V/dec.
