Abstract

We have investigated degradation of short channel n-type poly-Si TFTs with LDD under high gate and drain voltage stress due to self-heating. We have found that the threshold voltage of short channel TFT is shifted to negative direction on the selfheating stress, whereas the threshold voltage of long channel is moved to positive direction.
