Characteristics of SiO2 Film Grown by Atomic Layer Deposition as the Gate Insulator of Low-Temperature Polysilicon Thin-Film Transistors

Article Preview

Abstract:

SiO2 films were prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, and their physical and electrical properties were characterized for being applied as a gate insulator of low-temperature polysilicon thin-film transistors. ALD SiO2 films were deposited at 350–400 oC using alternating exposures of SiH2Cl2 and O3/O2, and the characteristics of the deposited films were improved with increasing deposition temperature. The ALD films deposited at 400 oC exhibited integrity, surface roughness and leakage current better than those of the conventional plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) films.
