Abstract

In this paper the author proposes a method of implementing a numerical model for threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) shift in organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) into SPICE tools. $V_{th}$ shift is first numerically modeled by dividing the shift into sequentially ordered groups. The model is then used to derive a simulations model which takes into simulation parameters and calculation complexity. Finally, the numerical and simulation models are implemented in AIM-SPICE. The SPICE simulation results agree well with the $V_{th}$ shift obtained from an OTFT fabricated without any optimization. The proposed method is also used to implement the stretched-exponential time dependent $V_{th}$ shift in AIM-SPICE and the results show the proposed method is applicable to various types of $V_{th}$ shifts.
