TCAD Analysis of the Four-Terminal Poly-Si TFTs on Suppression Mechanisms of the DC and AC Hot-Carrier Degradation

Four-terminal poly-Si thin-film transistors (TFTs), with a counter-doped body terminal connected to the floating channel, can suppress both dc and dynamic hot-carrier (HC) degradation of TFTs. With 3-D TCAD simulation, we clarify the underlying mechanisms of the suppression effect and analyze its de...
