  • Abstract
    We have integrated a high-κ LaAlO3 dielectric into low-temperature poly-Si (LTPS) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Good TFT performance was achieved-such as a high drive current, low threshold voltage and subthreshold slope, as well as an excellent on/off current ratio and high gate-dielectric breakdown field. This was achieved without hydrogen passivation or special crystallization steps. The good performance is related to the high gate capacitance density and small equivalent-oxide thickness provided by the high-κ dielectric.
