摘要
The origin of source/drain series resistances in amorphous silicon (a:Si:H) thin-film transistors (TFT) is analyzed based on a two-dimensional simulation of a-Si:H TFT and gated-four-probe (GFP) a-Si:H TFT structures. The source/drain series resistances consist of the contact resistances between source/drain electrodes and n(+) a-Si:H film, n(+) a-Si:H film resistances, intrinsic a-Si:H bulk resistances, and the geometrical resistances associated with the source/drain-gate overlaps. The influence of each component of series resistances on a-Si:H TFT electrical performance is clearly described based on the results of two-dimensional simulation. Published by Elsevier Science Ltd.
