Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure generally provide methods of forming a capacitor layer or a gate insulating layer with high dielectric constant as well as low film current leakage and desired film qualities for display applications. In one embodiment, a thin film transistor structure includes a dielectric layer formed on a substrate, wherein the dielectric layer is a zirconium containing material comprising aluminum, and gate, source and drain electrodes formed on the substrate, wherein the gate, source and drain electrodes formed above or below the dielectric layer.
Claims9
A thin film transistor structure comprising:
- a dielectric layer formed on a substrate, wherein the dielectric layer comprises a first layer formed by an amorphous zirconium containing material doped with aluminum and a second layer formed by a crystalline zirconium containing material;
- and
- gate, source, and drain electrodes formed on the substrate, wherein the gate electrode is formed above or below the dielectric layer.
