(color online) (a) Plane view of the device composed of a main transistor and two edge parasitic transistors. (b) Positive charges trapping at the back-channel interface and/or into the passivation induce the transfer characteristic to negatively shift, while more positive charges trapped at the edges lead to the formation of the hump.
