Abstract

PURPOSE:To obtain a stabilized thin film transistor having large mutual conductance and extremely few gate short-circuit by a method wherein an annealing is performed on a PCVD SiOx film in an oxidizing atmosphere of the specific temperature, thereby enabling to increase the resistance of said film. CONSTITUTION:After a PCVD SiOx film is deposited when the gate insulating film 3 of a CdSe thin film transistor is formed, the gate insulating layer 3 is formed by performing an annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere of 400 deg.C or above. The specific resistance of the PCVD SiOx film before annealing is 3X 10<12>OMEGA/cm, but it is increased to 10<13>OMEGA/cm or above when the film is annealed in the oxidizing atmosphere of 450 deg.C. On the other hand, the CdSe thin transistor wherein the PCVD SiOx film is used has a high on-current ION, and the on-off ratio of 10<3>-10<4> can be obtained.

Next, the PCVDS iOx g created in this way
The gate insulating film 3 of the Cd8e thin film transistor described above
(See Figure 1) to investigate its properties, and Figure 3 shows the results. Figure 3 shows the characteristics of drain current ID with respect to drain voltage VD when gate voltage VG is used as a parameter, and shows the characteristics of PCV without annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere.
In a CdSe thin film transistor using a Si 0x film as the gate insulating film, as shown in characteristic I (VG-20V) in the same figure, the on-current current ION is small at less than 1 μA, and the on/off ratio is less than 10. be. This is due to the gate electric field of 510x/Cd
This is because the electrons induced at the Se interface are trapped by the many traps present in Ge)8i0x and do not become effective carriers. On the other hand, annealed PCVDS direct O
As shown in characteristic II (Va=20V) in FIG. 3, the Cd5ei film transistor using
N is large at 80-100 μA, and on/off ratio is 10-10
10 was obtained. The effect of annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere is P
It is thought that this is because the 5i-H bonds in the CVDS i0x film are changed to Si-0 bonds to reduce the water content in the film, resulting in a reduction in trap density and an increase in film resistance. In addition,
3 shows the characteristics when the gate voltage VG is OV and when the PCVDSOX film is annealed and when it is not annealed.
