RAISED SOURCE/DRAIN OXIDE SEMICONDUCTING THIN FILM TRANSISTOR AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME

Abstract:

A transistor, integrated semiconductor device and methods of making. The transistor includes a patterned gate electrode, a dielectric layer located over the patterned gate electrode and a patterned first oxide semiconductor layer comprising a channel region and source/drain regions located on sides of the channel region. The thickness of the source/drain regions is greater than a thickness of the channel region. The transistor also includes contacts located on the patterned first oxide semiconductor layer and connected to the source/drain regions of the patterned first oxide semiconductor layer.
