The HJFET devices are processed at 200°C and room temperature, respectively; and exhibit operation voltages below 1V, subthreshold slopes in the range of 70-100mV/dec and off-currents as low as 25 fA/μm. The HJFET devices are proposed for use in active matrix backplanes comprised of low-temperature poly-Si (LTPS) as the c-Si substrate. Compared to conventional LTPS devices which require process temperatures up to 600°C and complex fabrication steps, the HJFET devices offer lower process temperature, simpler fabrication steps and lower operation voltages without compromising leakage or stability.","PeriodicalId":309325,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114772235","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
