In this thesis, we have proposed and fabricated the SONOS-TFT with nanowire structure. The SONOS-TFTs can be used on the high performance driving device application and nonvolatile memory device application. For driving device application, we have used multilayer ONO gate dielectrics to make change the effective dielectric constant. The proposed TFT with ONO gate dielectrics have better gate control ability. On the other hand, nanowire has larger electric-field in the corner region at the same voltage. The SONOS-TFT with multiple nanowire channels have superior electrical characteristic, such as lower threshold voltage, higher On/Off ratio, steeper subthreshold slope, and superior driving ability. In nonvolatile memory application, the SONOS-TFT with nanowire structure have superior program / erase efficiency for its higher electric field near the corner region. On the other hand, SONOS-TFT with nanowire structure have better reliability, either retention or endurance. The SONOS-TFTs combined the TFT and memory properties at the same time. Furthermore, the process flow is compatible with conventional poly-Si TFTs fabrication without additional process steps. Hence, the application of SONOS TFTs structure can reach the goal of system on panel (SOP) in the future.
