Plasma-free defect passivation is achieved on polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors fabricated below 150 °C by annealing and extracting H from SiNx:H interlayer dielectric. By annealing at 250 °C without a plasma application, VT and μFE were improved from 11.5 V to 3.5 V and from 86 cm2/V s to 212 cm2/V s, respectively. Improvement in performance is attributed to defect passivation by H diffusing out from SiNx:H. Dangling bonds and strained bonds can be acceptably passivated around 170 °C, and 205 °C, respectively. The activation energy for the diffusion of H into polycrystalline silicon was estimated to be 0.87 eV. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
