It is widely used in various industries such as production, retail, logistics, transportation, and finance. A typical RFID system architecture consists of three parts: an application system, a reader, and an RFID tag. The application system is responsible for data processing, transmission and control. The reader is primarily responsible for two-way communication with the electronic tag while accepting control commands from the application system. The RFID tag has a unique electronic code and stores the relevant information of the identified object, and is the real data carrier of the RFID system. The 13.56MHz passive RFID tag is currently the most used, and it is mainly composed of a monocrystalline silicon integrated circuit (IC) chip and an external antenna. The IC chip is mainly composed of a module such as a modulation and demodulation circuit, a rectification and voltage stabilization circuit, a clock and a digital logic circuit, and an EEPROM (Electrically Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory) storage circuit. Such a conventional RFID tag has the disadvantages of high integration cost and complicated process of the IC chip and the external antenna, and cannot be made into a flexible form of the label.

For thin film processes, they are used to prepare analog front-end circuits and clocks and digital logic. The structure of a conventional thin film transistor of a circuit and the structure of a memory thin film transistor used for preparing a memory device have a large difference, so it is difficult to integrate the two on the same substrate by the same process, that is, in the same It is very difficult to integrate a radio frequency identification tag including an antenna, an analog front end circuit, a clock, a digital logic circuit, and an EEPROM storage circuit on one substrate. Therefore, there is an urgent need to design a fabrication method for a circuit capable of simultaneously integrating a conventional thin film transistor and a memory thin film transistor, thereby realizing integration using a thin film process on a substrate.
