Silicon on Quartz: C-SiOQ

TFT LCD applications for TV projection systems

Field of applications:
  • TFT LCD applications for TV projection systems.
  • Virtual reality glasses or military applications.
  • CCD detectors.

    Main advantages compared to polycrystalline silicon on quartz:

  • For TFT LCD projection single-valve systems or small FPDs
  • Low leakage current for the TFT.
  • 5 X higher mobility.
  • Low threshold voltage - low voltage displays.
  • High resolution due to smaller TFT - high brightness.
  • Integration of CMOS drivers on the quartz wafer is easier - that means a drastic reduction of connectors on the small displays.
  • For CCD detectors
  • Better blue detection due to back side illumination through the quartz wafer.
