ABSTRACT:
The invention is directed to a thin film transistor (TFT) fabricated by using a recessed planarized poly plug as the bottom gate and a recessed planarized poly plug for the TFT drain connecting region. The TFT of the present invention can be used in any integrated circuit that uses such devices and in particular as a pullup device in a static random access memory (SRAM). The invention is directed to a process to fabricate a thin film transistor (TFT) having LDDs and/or high resistive regions (loads) that are self-aligned to a recessed plug that is used as the bottom gate for the TFT. The thin film transistor (TFT) of the present invention fabricated on a supporting substrate, with the TFT comprising: a recessed conductive plug serving as a control gate; a control gate insulating layer; a non-recessed conductive plug serving as a source/drain region interconnect; a film of semiconductive material connecting to and overlapping the plugs, the film having vertical regions extending above the recessed plug and horizontal regions extending over the recessed and non-recessed plugs; wherein, the vertical regions above the recessed plug are conductively doped to form TFT source/drain regions and the horizontal region spanning between the vertical regions above the recessed plug is conductively doped to form a TFT channel region, the horizontal region above the non-recessed plug is conductively doped to form a TFT source/drain interconnect.
