Abstract

We present an analytical SPICE model for the AC and DC characteristics of n and p channel polysilicon TFTs which scales fully with channel length and width in all regimes of operation (leakage, subthreshold, above threshold, and kink) and accounts for the frequency dispersion of the capacitance. Once physically based parameters have been extracted from long channel TFTs, which include the gate length and drain bias dependencies of the device parameters, our model accurately reproduces short channel device characteristics. The AC model includes the input channel resistance in series with the gate oxide capacitance. As a result, our model is able to fit the frequency dispersion of the device capacitances. The model has been implemented in the AIM-Spice simulator and good agreement is observed between measured and modeled results for gate lengths down to 4 gim.
