Abstract

The application of bias-stresses with high source-drain voltage and different gate voltages in polycrystalline thin-film transistors modifies the transconductance as well as the off current. These effects have been explained in terms of hot-holes injection into the gate insulator causing the formation of trap centers in the oxide and interface states near the drain.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
