    Abstract

    A novel fabrication process for self-aligned gate-overlapped lightly doped drain (SAGOLDD) thin-film transistors (TFTs) using excimer laser irradiation to form the graded LDD dopant profile and selectively plated Ni surrounding-gate to form the gate-overlap is demonstrated. The SAGOLDD TFT device exhibits much lower leakage current, higher on/off current ratio and better hot carrier stress endurance than self-aligned (SA) TFTs due to the lower electric field generated by graded LDD dopant profile.
