An analytical DC model accounting for the self-heating effect of polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFTs) is presented. In deriving the model for the self-heating effect, the temperature dependence of the effective mobility is studied in detail. Based on the mobility model and a first order approximation, a closed-form analytical drain current model considering the self-heating effect is derived. Compared with the available experimental data, the proposed model, which includes the self-heating and kink effects, provides an accurate description of the output characteristics over the linear, the saturation, and the kink regimes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
