Abstract:
In a method of forming a polysilicon film, a thin film transistor including a polysilicon film, and a method of manufacturing a thin film transistor including a polysilicon film, the thin film transistor includes a substrate, a first heat conduction film on the substrate, a second heat conduction film adjacent to the first heat conduction film, the second heat conduction film having a lower thermal conductivity than the first heat conduction film, a polysilicon film on the second heat conduction film and the first heat conduction film adjacent to the second heat conduction film, and a gate stack on the polysilicon film. The second heat conduction film may either be on the first heat conduction film or, alternatively, the first heat conduction film may be non-contiguous and the second heat conduction film may be interposed between portions of the non-contiguous first heat conduction film.
Abstract:
A thin film transistor comprises an Si-based channel having a nonlinear electron-moving path, a source and a drain disposed at both sides of the channel, a gate disposed above the channel, an insulator interposed between the channel and the gate, and a substrate supporting the channel and the source and the drain disposed at either side of the channel respectively.
Abstract:
An organic electroluminescent display (“OELD”) includes an organic light-emitting diode (“OLED”), a circuit region, and an interlayer dielectric (“ILD”) layer. The OLED is disposed in each of a plurality of pixels arranged on a substrate. The circuit region includes two or more thin film transistors (“TFTs”) and a storage capacitor. The ILD layer has two or more insulating layers and includes a first region disposed between both electrodes of the storage capacitor and a second region covering the TFTs. At least one of the insulating layers has a window exposing the insulating layer directly beneath the at least one insulating layer so that that the ILD layer is thinner in the first region than in the second region. Accordingly, it is possible to reduce an occupation area of the storage capacitor while maintaining the necessary capacitance of the storage capacitor and expanding the area of the luminescent region.

Abstract:
Provided are a semiconductor device including an active area which is defined as high and low mobility areas and a thin film transistor having the semiconductor device. The mobility of the active area can be lowered to a level enough to satisfy the requirement of the semiconductor device. The lowering of the mobility of the active area can contribute to reducing mobility deviation between semiconductor devices. As a result, the quality of a flat panel display adopting a large-scale semiconductor device can be greatly improved.
Abstract:
Provided is a method of manufacturing a single crystal Si film. The method includes: preparing a Si substrate on which a first oxide layer is formed and an insulating substrate on which a second oxide layer is formed; forming a dividing layer at a predetermined depth from a surface of the Si substrate by implanting hydrogen ions from above the first oxide layer; bonding the insulating substrate to the Si substrate so that the first oxide layer contacts the second oxide layer; and forming a single crystal Si film having a predetermined thickness on the insulating substrate by cutting the dividing layer by irradiating a laser beam from above the insulating substrate. Therefore, a single crystal Si film having a predetermined thickness can be formed on an insulating substrate.

The method includes sequentially stacking a first buffer layer and an amorphous silicon layer on a substrate, forming a first silicon region in which crystallization begins, a second silicon region having a width smaller than a width of the first silicon region and located on a central portion of a side of the first silicon region, and a third silicon region having a width than greater the width of the second silicon region and contacting the second silicon region, forming a metal mask partly on the first silicon region, and crystallizing the amorphous silicon layer by cooling the amorphous silicon layer after melting the entire amorphous silicon layer except for a portion of the amorphous silicon layer under the metal mask by radiating laser beams to the patterned amorphous silicon layer.
