Abstract:
In a process for manufacturing a thin-film transistor device the following steps are envisaged: forming a dielectric insulation layer (16) on a substrate (15); forming an amorphous silicon layer (17) on the dielectric insulation layer (16); crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer (17), so as to obtain polycrystalline silicon (19); forming gate structures (18b; 20, 24) on the polycrystalline silicon (19); and forming first doped regions (27-30) within the polycrystalline silicon (19) laterally with respect to the gate structures (18b; 20, 24). During the crystallizing step, the following steps are envisaged: forming first capping dielectric regions (18a) on the amorphous silicon layer (17); and then irradiating the amorphous silicon layer (17) using a laser so as to form active areas (19) of polycrystalline silicon separated by separation portions (17a) of amorphous silicon underlying the first capping dielectric regions (18a).
Abstract:
A process is described for integrating, on an inert substrate (24), a device (20) having at least one passive component (21, 22, 23) and one active component (25). Advantageously, the process comprises the steps of: - deposition of a protection dielectric layer (27) on the inert substrate (24); - formation of a polysilicon island (29) on the protection dielectric layer (27); - integration of the active component (25) on the polysilicon island (29); - deposition of the covering dielectric layer (32, 32a) on the protection dielectric layer (27) and on the active component (25); - integration of the passive component (21, 22, 23) on the covering dielectric layer (32, 32a); - formation of first contact structures in openings realised in the covering dielectric layer (32, 32a) in correspondence with active regions of the active component (25); and - formation of second contact structures in correspondence with the passive component (21, 22, 23). An integrated device obtained through this process is also described.
