Abstract :
Thin-film field-effect transistors are fabricated by use of fluorinated amorphous-silicon alloy (a-Si:F) containing no hydrogen. The characteristics of transistors such as on-off current ratio are comparable to those of hydrogenated amorphous-silicon transistors and are unchanged after 600°C annealing.
