摘要
In this brief, the lateral electric field distribution in the channel of a double-gate TFT is studied and compared with that of a conventional single-gate TFT. The double-gate TFT is predicted to suffer from a more severe anomalous off-current than the single-gate TFT. A smart double-gate TFT technology is proposed to decrease the off-current. The unique feature of the technology is the lithography independent formation of the self-aligned double-gate and the symmetric lightly doped drain (LDD) structures. With the LDD applied, the anomalous off-current of the fabricated double-gate TFT is reduced by three orders of magnitude from the range of 10(-9) A/mum to 10(-12) A/mum. The orVoff current ratio is increased by three orders of magnitude accordingly from around 104 to 10(7).
