Abstract

A top gate, self-aligned polysilicon (poly-Si) thin film transistor (TFT) is formed using a single laser anneal to crystallize the active silicon and to activate the source-drain region. The poly-Si TFT includes a substrate, dummy gate, a barrier oxide layer, a polysilicon pattern having a source region and a drain region, a gate oxide, and a gate.
