The transport properties of thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated on polycrystalline-SiGe films, which were formed by solid-phase crystallization of amorphous-Si1−xGex (x=0, 0.3, 0.5, and 0.7) films, were studied. The mobility of TFTs increases as the Ge concentration increases from 0% to 30% and the mobility decreases as the Ge concentration exceeds 30%, which agrees with the Ge concentration dependence of the grain size. The generation rates and the effective lifetimes of electron-hole pairs at the p-n junctions of TFTs increase and decrease monotonically with increasing Ge concentration, respectively, which means that the grain boundary defects in p-n junctions increase with increasing Ge concentration.
