Abstract:
In this letter, the effects of hot carriers on amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O thin film transistors (TFTs) of different geometric structures were investigated. Three types of via-contact structure TFTs are used in this experiment, defined as source-drain large (SD large), source-drain normal (SD normal), and fork-shaped. After hot-carrier stress, the I-V curves of both SD normal and fork-shaped TFTs with U-shaped drains show a threshold voltage shift along with the parasitic transistor characteristic in the reverse-operation mode. Asymmetrical degradation is exhibited in an ISE-TCAD simulation of the electric field, which shows the distribution of hot electrons injected into the etch-stop layer below the redundant drain electrode.
