Amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors with very high field-effect mobility

Abstract
The fabrication and performance of hydrogenated amorphous-silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with field-effect mobilities of 5.1 cm/sup 2//V-s are discussed. This is the highest field-effect mobility of this type of TFT reported to date. The device shows an on/off current ratio exceeding 10/sup 5/ and a subthreshold swing of 0.5 V/decade.
