  • Abstract
    In this paper we analyze the effects of X-ray irradiation on a-Si:H TFTs. We have irradiated at low doses, up to 1 krad, and we have measured several transistors, obtaining coherent behaviors. The main effect is a shifting of the threshold voltage, as well as a change in the Ioff current and a change in the mobility. We discuss these effects, and find them to be around three orders of magnitude higher than in an equivalent bulk CMOS technology.
