Journal ArticleDOI
Metastable defects in amorphous-silicon thin-film transistors.
TL;DR: It is suggested that the behavior may involve metastable dangling bonds generated within the amorphous silicon as a consequence of the field-effect-induced increase in electron concentration, which constitutes an important new instability mechanism forAmorphous-silicon thin-film transistors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Charge trapping effects in amorphous silicon/silicon nitride thin film transistors
TL;DR: In this article, simultaneous measurements of the threshold voltage shift under positive bias stress and transient discharge following such stressing, on amorphous silicon - silicon nitride thin film transistors (α-Si : H TFTs).
Journal ArticleDOI
Polysilicon produced by excimer (ArF) laser crystallisation and low-temperature (600°C) furnace crystallisation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H)
TL;DR: In this paper, opto-electronic and structural properties of polysilicon produced by excimer (ArF) laser crystallisation of undoped hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) are determined by TEM and electron diffraction.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evidence for metastable defects in amorphous silicon thin film transistors
TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a model in which metastable silicon dangling bonds are generated as a consequence of field effect induced band bending in amorphous silicon thin film transistor.
Journal ArticleDOI
Evaluation of the constant photocurrent method for determining the energy distribution of localised states in disordered semiconductors
TL;DR: In this paper, numerical modelling is employed to explore the information which can be obtained from studies of the "constant photocurrent" response for disordered semiconductors. Butler et al. used computer simulation to determine the experimental behaviour for a range of N(E) distributions of differing functional forms.
