ABSTRACT:
An improved thin film transistor structure is provided having no source/gate or drain/gate overlap. A laser doping technique is applied to fabricate such transistors. Eliminating source/gate and drain/gate overlap significantly reduces or eliminates parasitic capacitance and feed-through voltage between source and gate. Short-channel a-Si:H thin film transistors may be obtained having high field effect mobilities. Improved pixel performance and pixel-to-pixel uniformity is provided.
