Polysilicon thin film transistors (TFT) are of great interest in the field
of large area microelectronics, especially because of their application as
active elements in flat panel displays. Different deposition techniques are
in tough competition with the objective to obtain device-quality polysilic
on thin films at low temperature. In this paper we present the preliminary
results obtained with the fabrication of TFT deposited by hot-wire chemical
vapor deposition (HWCVD. Some results concerned with the structural charac
terization of the material and electrical performance of the device are pre
sented. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
