Abstract The negative gate bias stress (NBS) reliability of n-type polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with a distinct defective grain boundary (GB) in the channel is investigated. Results show that conventional NBS degradation with negative shift of the transfer curves is absent. The on-state current is decreased, but the subthreshold characteristics are not affected. The gate bias dependence of the drain leakage current at Vds of 5.0 V is suppressed, whereas the drain leakage current at Vds of 0.1 V exhibits obvious gate bias dependence. As confirmed via TCAD simulation, the corresponding mechanisms are proposed to be trap state generation in the GB region, positive-charge local formation in the gate oxide near the source and drain, and trap state introduction in the gate oxide.

Online attention
Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
