    Abstract

    New findings of this work are as follows: a-Si-like spin centers (·Si≡Si3) are found to exist in CVD-SiO2 gate dielectric films as well as poly-Si substrate films. High-temperature hydrogenation (HTH) at 850 °C is effective in terminating these spin centers and in reducing the poly-Si PMOS TFT threshold voltage instability.
