ABSTRACTWe have investigated the stability of short channel (1.5μm) p-Type polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) on the glass substrate under AC bias stress. The variation of threshold voltage in short channel poly-Si TFT was considerably higher than that of long channel poly-Si TFT. Threshold voltage of the short channel TFT was considerably moved to the positive direction during AC bias stress, whereas the threshold voltage of a long channel was rarely moved. The variation of threshold voltage in the short channel p-type TFT under AC bias stess was more compared to that under DC bias stress. The threshold voltage of short channel (L=1.5μm) poly-Si TFT was increased about -7.44V from -0.305V to -7.745V when VGS = 5 (base value) ~ -15V (peak value), VDS = -15V was applied for 3,000 seconds. This positive shift of threshold voltage and significantly degraded s-swing value in the short channel TFT under dynamic stress (AC) may be due to the increase of the stress-induced trap state density at gate insulator / channel interface region.

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.
