Abstract
A continuous analytical model is presented for the radiation-induced degradation of p-type polysilicon Thin Film Transistors (TFTs). Drawing upon the analyses of the physical mechanisms encompassing hole trapping in the oxide layer and proton-induced generation of interface traps, a physical-based model is developed to explain the correlations between ionizing radiation doses and the resultant densities of oxide-trapped and interface-trapped charges. The influences of these trapped charges are embedded in the computation of the explicit surface potential. By comparing with the experimental characteristics of devices after gamma-ray irradiation, the validity of the model is verified, thereby ensuring the accurate simulation of the degradation in I-V characteristics of p-type polysilicon TFTs attributable to exposure to ionizing radiation.
期刊介绍:
Microelectronics Reliability, is dedicated to disseminating the latest research results and related information on the reliability of microelectronic devices, circuits and systems, from materials, process and manufacturing, to design, testing and operation. The coverage of the journal includes the following topics: measurement, understanding and analysis; evaluation and prediction; modelling and simulation; methodologies and mitigation. Papers which combine reliability with other important areas of microelectronics engineering, such as design, fabrication, integration, testing, and field operation will also be welcome, and practical papers reporting case studies in the field and specific application domains are particularly encouraged.
Most accepted papers will be published as Research Papers, describing significant advances and completed work. Papers reviewing important developing topics of general interest may be accepted for publication as Review Papers. Urgent communications of a more preliminary nature and short reports on completed practical work of current interest may be considered for publication as Research Notes. All contributions are subject to peer review by leading experts in the field.
