The advantages of the hybrid-type temperature sensor are that the large temperature dependence of the off-leakage current can be utilized, and simultaneously only a digital circuit is required to count the digital pulse. However, the conventional hybrid-type sensor has a disadvantage that the pulse width is too small to count. Therefore, we have developed a new hybrid-type temperature sensor in order to enlarge the pulse width. We confirmed the working by circuit simulation.","PeriodicalId":243757,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124961281","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Once the oxide semiconductor is integrated in the device structures, the quality of oxide semiconductor and surrounding media could only be characterized by seeming information such as drive current, mobility, sub-threshold slope and hysteresis. Here we present a combinatorial device analysis method using pulsed I-V, transient I-V and low frequency noise measurement methods to assess the quality of oxide device. In this presentation, we will deal with various oxide thin-film transistors such as HfInZnO (HIZO) device with metal cation contents, HIZO-IZO bi-layer device and HIZO device with gate insulator quality. Via pulsed I-V measurement method, we found that conventional DC measurement method significantly underestimate the performance of oxide devices. Using a short pulse I-V analysis, the trapping time constants were identified. The charge trapping phenomena were verified by low frequency noise measurements. This combinatorial method can be an effective way to improve reliability characteristics of oxide devices as it provides an accurate and quantitative way to assess the quality of device.","PeriodicalId":243757,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD)","volume":"92 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124599321","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
