Abstract :
A small 20 Ã 20 dot matrix array of a FET has been fabricated on a glass substrate using a-Si films as the semiconductor and silicon nitride deposited from a N2-SiH4 mixture as the gate insulator. Good operation is obtained for both TN-mode and GH-mode in transparent-type LCDs. The improved fabrication process and structure are reported.
