English abstract In this work, the fabrication of bottom-gate TFTs with unplanarized and planarized gate electrode are reported, as well simulations of the impact of the gate planarization in the TFTs are presented. Previously in literature, a reduction of the contact resistance has been attributed to this planarized structure. In order to provide a physical explanation of this improvement, the electrical performance of ambipolar a-SiGe:H TFTs with planarized gate electrode by Spin-On Glass is compared with unplanarized ambipolar a-SiGe:H TFTs. Then, the properties in the main device interfaces are analyzed by physically-based simulations. The planarized TFTs have better characteristics such as field-effect mobility, on-current, threshold voltage and on/off-current ratio which are consequence of the improved contact resistance
