چکیده

In this paper, we have investigated the effect of a single Grain Boundary (GB) on the performance of decananometer-scale Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) by using the calibrated energy balance transport model and a continuous trap state distribution at the GB. We have found that the GB potential barrier suppresses the subthreshold slope and leakage current in devices, where the DIBL effect and punchthrough currents significantly degrade device performance. We have also found that the drift-diffusion model underestimates the drain current in the single-GB TFT and the velocity overshoot effect becomes significant in the short channel regime. Inclusion of trap-to-band and band-to-band tunnelling models into our simulations have shown that the subthreshold leakage current has a significant field dependence in the negative gate bias regime.

Simulation Study of the Dependence of Submicron Polysilicon Thin-Film Transistor Output Characteristics on Grain Boundary Position

We investigate the impact of varying the grain boundary (GB) position on the output (Id–Vd) characteristics of submicron single GB polysilicon thin film transistors (TFTs), by two-dimensional (2D), drift-diffusion based, device simulation. We employ a localized GB trapping model with a distribution of both donor-like and acceptor-like trap states over the forbidden energy gap of the GB region. ...
