Surface micro-machined polycrystalline silicon micro-bridge is used as a suspended gate in an air-gap polysilicon thin film transistor (TFT) made on glass substrate. Here, polycrystalline low pressure chemical vapour deposition (LPCVD) germanium film as sacrificial layer is compared to the conventional silicon oxide. Besides its good step coverage, germanium shows a great etch selectivity against...
