摘要
Polysilicon thin-film transistor (poly-Si TFT) characteristics are evaluated by using the charge-pumping technique for the first time. The recombination current at the grain boundary traps is measured as the charge-pumping current in this technique. Therefore, the influence of the grain boundary traps is directly evaluated. It is confirmed that a large number of acceptor-like and donor-like traps exist at the grain boundaries in poly-Si TFT's. The trap density is derived from the pulse fall-time dependence of the charge-pumping current. The influence of process temperature on trap properties is examined using the charge-pumping technique.
