We demonstrated a silver gate hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin film transistor(a‐Si:H TFT) using thin buffer layers of alumina(Al 2 O 3 ) and aluminum‐nitride(AlN). An Al 2 O 3 layer on glass substrate was deposited so as to increase adhesion between APC(> 98 wt% silver) and glass substate. An AlN layer on APC was deposited to prevent it from plasma damage during silicon‐nitride(SiNx) deposition. The Ag gate a‐Si:H TFT with these buffer layers exhibited a field‐effect mobility of 1.15 cm 2 /Vs, a gate voltage swing of 0.86 V/dec. and a threshold voltage of 2.5 V.
