Considering the impact-ionization mechanism occurring in the high drain-bias (V/sub DS/) regime, a new I-V model considering the impact-ionization effect initiated by the drain-induced-grain-barrier-lowering (DIGBL) current has been established for the intrinsic n-channel poly-Si TFT. The simulation results considering the developed impact-ionization current model are in excellent agreement with the experimental output characteristics of the intrinsic n-channel poly-Si TFT with the mask-gate length ranging from 5 /spl mu/m to 40 /spl mu/m. In resolving the physical parameters and their underlying operation mechanisms including the grain-barrier height, DIGBL current, and impact-ionization current, the developed I-V model will be beneficial to further understand the underlying physics of the intrinsic poly-Si TFT. |
