Abstract

We have studied the effects of interface and surface on the performance of hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) thin film transistors. The effects of rf power, the buffer layer between the gate insulator and a-Si:H, and the surface oxidation on the performance on the a-Si:H TFTs have been investigated. By introducing suitable buffer layer, we can increase the mobility up to 2.1 cm2/Vs. The surface oxidation gives rise to the electron accumulation near the surface.
