Date of patent: Jun. 08, 2010
Inventors: Kengo Akimoto, Tatsuya Honda, Norihito Sone.
The goal is to create a cost-effective semiconductor device using a simplified manufacturing process. This involves forming a thin film transistor with an oxide semiconductor film (such as zinc oxide). The steps include forming a gate electrode, a gate-insulating film, and an oxide semiconductor film on a substrate. Finally, the first and second conductive films are applied over the oxide semiconductor film. The oxide semiconductor film contains a crystallized region in the channel area.
Inventors: Randy L. Hoffman, Gregory S. Herman, Peter P. Mardilovich.
The semiconductor device includes a channel made of a metal oxide, which can be zinc-gallium, cadmium-gallium, or cadmium-indium.
