Thin Film Transistor

总结
A thin film transistor (TFT) is an insulated-gate field effect transistor that is fabricated using thin film techniques on an insulating substrate rather than a semiconductor. Integrated circuits (IC) built using polysilicon thin film transistors at low temperatures have attracted much attention in various large area applications such as flat panel displays and page width optical scanners. In conventional TFTs, the drain is offset from the channel region in order to achieve low leakage current. However, this offset causes a severe current pinching problem which in turn results in high on-resistance. This problem is even more severe in high voltage TFT devices since a longer offset region is required.

The invention relates to a novel high voltage conductivity modulated TFT. The new thin film transistor comprises a channel region and a drain, each being formed of a doped polysilicon material on an insulating substrate, said channel region and said drain being spaced apart by an offset region of undoped polysilicon material. The new design of the transistor provides much lower on-resistance compared to that of the conventional offset drain TFT. Since the density of traps in polysilicon is very high, minority carrier life-time is very short and so the TFT does not experience any latch-up and there is no degredation of switching speed.
