Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the semiconductor device includes a substrate, a first silicon nitride layer formed over the substrate, a first silicon oxide layer formed directly on the first silicon nitride layer and having a thickness of about 1000 Å or less, and a hydrogenated polycrystalline silicon layer formed directly on the first silicon oxide layer.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A semiconductor device comprising: a substrate; a first buffer layer formed over the substrate, wherein the first buffer layer contains hydrogen; and an active layer formed on the first buffer layer and containing polycrystalline silicon and hydrogen, wherein the concentration of the hydrogen contained in the active layer is about 1 atomic percent (at. %) or more, wherein the device further comprises a second buffer layer formed between and contacting…
