Abstract

The high leakage current is the most important issue of MIC-TFT. Ni residues in the MIC-TFT is the major cause of the leakage. In this study, a chemical oxide layer was used to avoid excess of Ni atoms into a-Si layer during MIC process. The process is simple and without extra thermal annealing. It was found that the Ni concentration of poly-Si film with chemical oxide layer was much less than that of conventional MIC poly-Si film. As a result, the leakage current was improved.
