A. Pecora et al., HOT-HOLE-INDUCED DEGRADATION IN POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON THIN-FILM TRANSISTORS - EXPERIMENTAL AND THEORETICAL-ANALYSIS, IEE proceedings. Part G. Circuits, devices and systems, 141(1), 1994, pp. 33-37
The application of bias stress with high source-drain voltage and diff
erent gate voltages in polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors p
roduces marked modifications both in the off current as well as device
transconductance. These effects are explained in terms of hot-carrier
effects related to a combination of charge injection into the gate in
sulator and formation of interface states near the drain.
