Abstract(in English) The formation or random grain boundaries was successfully suppressed using grain growth control of high-speed lateral crystallization (HSLC) by micro-thermal-plasma-jet (µ-TPJ) irradiation on1 µm-wide amorphous silicon strips. This strip pattern is quite effective to improve the characteristics of thin film transistors (TFTs). The characteristic variability of TFTs with strip pattern was suppressed to 1/3 compared with conventional pattern. NMOS TFTs achieved field effect mobility of 503 ± 63 cm2V-1s-1, threshold voltage of 1.7 ± 0.06 V and S-factor of 196 ± 15 mV/dec.、152 ± 17 mV/dec. High-speed operation of CMOS circuit was demonstrated . 9-stage ring oscillator with strip pattern was oscillated by 107.5 MHz at supply voltage of 5 V.
