초록

The threshold voltage shift in thin-film transistors (TFTs) is modeled using stretched-exponential (SE) and stretched-hyperbola (SH) functions. These models are derived by introducing empirical parameters into reaction rate equations that describe defect generation or charge trapping caused by hydrogen diffusion in the dielectric or interface. Separately, the dielectric relaxation phenomena are also described by the same reaction rate equations based on defect diffusion. Dielectric relaxation was initially modeled using the SE model, and various models have been proposed using fractional calculus. In this study, the characteristics of the threshold voltage shift and the dielectric relaxation phenomena are compared and analyzed to explore the applicability of analytical models used in the field of dielectric relaxation, in addition to the conventional SE and SH models.
