Abstract:	In this work we are looking at the prospect of using poly-silicon based Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) as photodetectors for optical interconnects that can detect light effectively at 1100nm wavelength from silicon based Light Emitting Diodes (LEDs). These TFTs were fabricated from laser crystallized silicon and were characterized under darkness and illumination. The photosensitivities of these devices were limited due to the presence of aluminium as their gate electrode but have shown us the possibility of a new approach to photodetection.
