This unique fabrication process has the advantage of short processing time at low processing temperatures (/spl les/600/spl deg/C). The processing is based on the key step of an oxygen plasma treatment of precursor amorphous silicon (a-Si) films prior to crystallization. This plasma treatment enhances the thermal crystallization process and reduces the crystallization thermal budget substantially. The viability of this new crystallization process is demonstrated with n-channel thin film transistors with mobility values of 35 cm/sup 2V s, on/off current ratios 4/spl times/10/sup 6/ and threshold voltages of 0.5 V.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":346650,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129990664","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}

This tunable internal photoemission sensor (TIPS) consists of two back-to-back Schottky diodes separated by a thin undoped Si layer. The two metals are chosen with different Schottky barrier heights so that the depleted Si forms an asymmetrical potential barrier to the carriers (both holes and electrons) photocreated in each metallic film. Under sub-band gap illumination the photocurrent flowing between the two metallic films is therefore strongly dependent on the shape and height of the potential barrier which can be varied by a small bias applied between the two metal electrodes.<<ETX>>","PeriodicalId":346650,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of IEEE International Electron Devices Meeting","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-12-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129781761","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}
