Abstract
Following extensive characterization and simulation of the behavior of low-temperature laser recrystallized polysilicon thin-film transistors (TFT´s), we propose a low field leakage current mechanism which explains to a good degree of accuracy at a low drain to source voltage (VDS) the dependence of the leakage current on the device´s active layer thickness, density-of-states (DOS), bias-stress degradation and active layer length
