Abstract
This paper gives results of experimental analysis of impact of electrostatic discharge (ESD) pulse on amorphous silicon thin film transistors (/spl alpha/-Si:H TFT). The development of degradation of the electron mobility and the threshold voltage is presented. Failure analysis has been done and two failure mechanisms have been identified.
