Transmission Line MBdel Testing of Top-Gate Amorphous SiliconThin Film Transistors
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper, for the first time Transmission Line Model (TLM) characterization is used to analyze ESD events in amorphous silicon thin film transistors (a-Si:H TFT). It will be ,shown that, above an ESD degradation threshold voltage, deterioration of electrical characteristics sets in, and that above another ESD failure threshold voltage, dielectric breakdown occurs. Electrical simulations of an aSi:H TFT confirm creation of positive interface charges as being the most likely cause of the deterioration process. Two failure modes have been identified by failure analysis.

Low temperature amorphous and nanocrystalline silicon thin film transistors deposited by Hot-Wire CVD on glass substrate
Amorphous and nanocrystalline silicon films obtained by Hot-Wire Chemical Vapor deposition have been incorporated as active layers in n-type coplanar top gate thin film transistors deposited on glass substrates covered with SiO2. Amorphous silicon devices exhibited mobility values of 1.3 cmVs, which are very high taking into account the amorphous nature of the material. Nanocrystalline transist...

This work presents a comparative analysis of top gate a-IGZO TFTs fabricated on both soda-lime-silica glass and alkali-free borosilicate glass. Low-temperature ALD is selected for the deposition of gate dielectric to minimize a thermal stress. Comparing with TFTs on alkali-free borosilicate glass, TFTs with soda-lime-glass show similar threshold voltage and subthreshold swing, but slightly degr...
