N2 - The tunneling and depletion-mode of poly-Ge thin film transistors (TFT), fabricated by low-temperature as low as 150°C and 200°C respectively, along with stress-assisted Cu-induced lateral growth and metal-free crystallization, were analyzed. Mechanical compressive stress was applied during annealing by bending the flexible polyethylene (PET) substrates inward. The depletionn-mode TFTs were fabricated based on metal-free crystallization of Ge by hydrogenation and annealing. The results show the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) surface morphology of the Ge layer after a series of hydrogenation and annealing steps in a 150 Watt RF hydrogen plasma at 2000°C using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) machine.
