Research Abstract |
We have developed a parallel-plate-type electrode system that can efficiently supply process gases into the narrow gap spacing between the electrode and a substrate and can avoid the contamination of the substrate surface by dusty particles. As a result, high-rate and low-temperature depositions of amorphous and microcrystalline Si, silicon oxide and silicon nitride films have been demonstrated using atmospheric- pressure very high-frequency plasma. Bottom-gate thin film transistors have successfully been fabricated on polyethylene naphthalate (PEN) sheet substrates of 0.125 mm thickness without causing any thermal damage of the substrate material.
