  • Abstract
    The expression for source-drain characteristics of a thin-film transister with linearly graded channel thickness is presented based on a depletion-type operating in an enhancement mode. The saturation voltage derived from the I-V expression was found to decrease significantly, as compared to uniform channel having comparable semiconductor film thickness as the source end of the graded channel.
