Abstract

The n- and p-channel field effect transistors are fabricated in as-deposited and grain boundary passivated polysilicon thin films. The performance of these thin film transistors (TFT's) is characterized and compared. Specifically, the transconductance and leakage behavior are discussed in detail in correlation with the grain boundary properties. The I-V characteristics are modeled from a unified point of view.
