摘要
A combinatorial approach is proposed and demonstrated for the parallel fabrication of a-Si:H, alloy and a-Si:H based devices, by employing simple masking schemes in conventional plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). The results are presented for a-Si:H thin film transistors. A (7 x 7) combinatorial device library was deposited on a (indium tin oxide/glass) substrate with the thicknesses of a-SiN:H and a-Si:H as combinatorial variables along the X and Y axes, respectively. Different a-Si:H TFTs in the library were evaluated to yield electrical performance with on-to-off current ratios exceeding 10(4) and threshold voltages from 0.3 to 4.5 V. Combinatorial PECVD offers an efficient and low cost means of studying the a-Si:H device performance and optimization.
