Abstract

—We lead the lightly doped drain (LDD) structure into the bridged-grain (BG) poly-Si thin film transistor (TFT). This combined structure can restrain the gate induced drain leakage current (GIDL) and the electrical characteristics shows not much sacrifice. A high Ion/Ioff current ratio 3.79×108 is achieved. Besides, the device reliability is improved significantly. Because the lateral electrical field decreases by LDD, lower trap state density is generated in the SiO2/poly-Si interface and the grain boundaries of poly-Si near the surface conduction channel, resulting in the stable on-state drive current (Ion) and drain saturation voltage (Vdsat). All test results indicate that the BG poly-Si TFT with a LDD structure will work well and has a great potential for system-on-panel application.
