A physical-based and analytical drain current model of amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) is proposed. The model considers the combined contribution of both trapped and free charges that move through the a-IGZO film by multiple-trapping-and-release and percolation in conduction band. The model is compared with both measurements of TFTs fabricated on a flexible substrate and numerical simulations. It is accurate in the whole range of a-IGZO TFTs operation. The model requires only physical and geometrical device parameters. The resulting mathematical expressions are suitable for computer-aided design implementation and yield the material physical parameters that are essential for process characterization.

The model considers the combined contribution of both trapped and free charges that move through the a-IGZO film by multiple-trapping-and-release and percolation in conduction band. The model is compared with both measurements of TFTs fabricated on a flexible substrate and numerical simulations. It is accurate in the whole range of a-IGZO TFTs operation. The model requires only physical and geometrical device parameters. The resulting mathematical expressions are suitable for computer-aided design implementation and yield the material physical parameters that are essential for process characterization.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
