Performances of Ni-Induced Lateral Crystallization Thin Film Transistors with and Needle Grains

Thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated using and needle grains have been investigated. They were fabricated by Ni–metal-induced lateral crystallization and Ni–metal imprint-induced crystallization method. It is found that the performance of 112-TFT was far superior to that of 111-TFT. The device tr...

Summary:Thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated using and needle grains have been investigated. They were fabricated by Ni–metal-induced lateral crystallization and Ni–metal imprint-induced crystallization method. It is found that the performance of 112-TFT was far superior to that of 111-TFT. The device transfer characteristics of 112-TFT include 2.6-fold-higher field-effect mobility (µ FE ), 4-fold-higher on/off current ratio ( I on / I off ), and 2.4-fold-lower leakage current ( I off ) compared with those of the 111-TFT.
