  • Abstract
    Amorphous-silicon thin film transistors (TFTs) with submicrometer-long bottom-gate have been fabricated and their characteristics were evaluated. By the desirable effects of highly conductive source and drain of excimer-laser crystallized Si film, the mobility was hardly decreased from about 1.0 cm2/Vs for the 15-μm long TFT to about 0.9 cm2/Vs for the 0.5-μm long TFT. Detailed effects of the gate electrode thickness and length have been discussed on the TFT characteristics
