A method for fabricating an AMOLED pixel includes forming a transparent semiconductor layer on a substrate and forming a first channel layer of the switch TFT, a lower electrode of a storage capacitor and a second channel layer of a driving TFT. A first dielectric layer is formed over the substrate. A first opaque metal gate of the switch TFT, a second opaque metal gate of the driving TFT and a scan line are formed on the first dielectric layer. A first source and a first drain of the switch TFT are formed in the first channel layer and a second source and a second drain of the switch TFT are formed in the second channel layer. A patterned transparent metal layer is formed on the first dielectric layer. A data line is formed over the substrate. An OLED is formed over the substrate.

A method for forming a semiconductor structure includes reacting a silicon precursor and an atomic oxygen or nitrogen precursor at a processing temperature of about 150° C. or less to form a silicon oxide or silicon-nitrogen containing layer over a substrate. The silicon oxide or silicon-nitrogen containing layer is ultra-violet (UV) cured within an oxygen-containing environment.

A method of manufacturing a charge storage device is provided. Utilizing the capacity for a precise control of the thickness and the silicon content of a deposited film in an atomic layer deposition process, a stacked gradual material layer such as a hafnium silicon oxide (HfxSiyOz) layer is formed. The silicon content is gradually changed throughout the duration of the HfxSiyOz deposition process. The etching rate for the HfxSiyOz layer in dilute hydrogen fluoride solution is dependent on the silicon content y in the HfxSiyOz layer. The sidewalls of the stacked gradual material layer are etched to form an uneven profile. The lower electrode, the capacitor dielectric layer and the upper electrode are formed on the uneven sidewalls of the stacked gradual material layers, the area between the lower electrode and the upper electrode is increased to improve the capacitance of the charge storage device.
