摘要：

The reliability of low-temperature-processed (less than or equal to425degreesC) polycrystalline-silicon thin film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) was investigated. For n-channel TFTs, the sub-threshold characteristics shifted in the positive direction when a high voltage stress was applied to them, which is particularly significant in small-size TFTs as well as in wide-channel TFTs. It was verified that the temperature of the TFTs reached over 300degreesC due to self-heating when this stress was applied. We estimate that the breaking of Si-H bonds and re-generation of dangling bonds in the channel poly-Si layers due to self-heating are responsible for the degradation phenomenon.
