Abstract (en)

[origin: WO0011709A1] In an insulated-gate top-gate thin film transistor, the insulated gate structure comprises a first gate insulator layer over the semiconductor body of the transistor, an intermediate conductive layer over the first gate insulator layer, a second gate insulator layer over the intermediate conductive layer and a gate conductor over the second gate insulating layer. The intermediate conductive layer enables the two insulator layers to be etched under separate conditions, and also acts as a field plate to reduce the effect of negative undercut in the top insulator layer.
