62 results about "Channel-stopper" patented technology

In semiconductor device fabrication, channel-stopper or channel-stop is an area in semiconductor devices produced by implantation or diffusion of ions, by growing or patterning the silicon oxide, or other isolation methods in semiconductor material with the primary function to limit the spread of the channel area or to prevent the formation of parasitic channels (inversion layers).

Liquid Crystal Display Device

In bottom-gate-type thin film transistors used in a liquid crystal display device, a channel stopper layer is formed on a poly-Si layer thus stabilizing a characteristic of the thin film transistor. The channel stopper layer is formed into a desired shape by wet etching, and the poly-Si layer is formed into a desired shape by dry etching. By applying side etching to the channel stopper layer, a peripheral portion of the poly-Si layer is exposed from the channel stopper layer, and this region is brought into contact with an n+Si layer. Due to such constitution, ON resistance of the thin film transistor can be decreased thus increasing an ON current which flows in the thin film transistor.
