  • Abstract
    The dynamic negative bias temperature (NBT) stress induced hump phenomenon in p-channel poly-Si TFTs has been investigated. The hump only shows up after the stress. It is found to appear along with the positive shift of device Vth and disappears after a certain stress time. The hump phenomenon is closely related to the dynamic effect, and shows the same dependency on the pulse amplitude and stress temperature with the dynamic effect. The presence of parasitic edge transistor at the channel width side is thought to be responsible for the hump phenomenon.
