ABSTRACTThrough the time and temperature dependence measurements on threshold voltage shifts (Δ VT) in amorphous silicon thin film transistors, it has been found that two separate instability mechanisms exist; within short stress time ranges Δ Vτ increases as log t and this behavior corresponds to charge trapping in SiN. On the other hand, in long stress time ranges Δ VT increases as t t/4 and can be explained by time-dependent creation of trap in a-Si.

ABSTRACTThe effects of top-insulator on the instability problems of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) have been studied. In a-Si:H TFT with top-insulator (E/S type), charge trapping into the both of top-insulator and gate insulator has been shown under the bias stress.In order to investigate the charge trapping effects of top-insulator, we proposed a new method of Measurement. By this Method, we observed that trapped charges in top-insulator increased drain currents for positive gate bias stress, and this increment of drain currents was more serious with increasing the ratio of source/drain overlap length to channel length. It has founded that the instability problems of a-Si:H TFTs was attributed to the effects of top-insulator as well as that of gate insulator.
