Abstract

A method of coating an amorphous silicon layer. An amorphous silicon layer is directly deposited on the polysilicon nodes by a self-aligned method. A chemical mechanical polishing process is performed to control the thickness of the amorphous silicon layer. No additional photoresist is used during the whole processes. Therefore, the duration for deposition can be reduced and the quality of the amorphous silicon film is improved.
