We proposed a new cross-coupled level shifter circuit using low temperature poly-Si(LTPS) TFT. The proposed level shifter can operate on low input voltage in spite of low mobility and widely varying high threshold voltage of LTPS TFT. Also, the proposed level shifter operates at high frequency and reduces power consumption for having fast rising and falling time and shortening period flowing short-circuit currents.

A new method for array testing of TFT-CD panel with the integrated gate driver circuits is presented. As larger size/high resolution TFT-LCD with the peripheral driver circuits has emerged, one of the important problems for manufacturing is array testing on the panel. This paper describes the technology of detecting defective arrays and optimizing the array testing process. For the effective characterization of pixel array, the pixel storage capability is simulated and measured with voltage imaging system. This technology permits full functional testing during the manufacturing process, enabling fabrication of large TFT-LCD panels with the integrated driver circuits.

본 논문에서는 n-채널 저온 다결정 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터의 문턱전압 변동을 보상할 수 있는 전압 기입 AMOLED 화소회로를 제안하였다. 제안한 6T1C 화소회로는 5개의 스위칭 박막 트랜지스터, 1개의 OLED 구동 박막 트랜지스터 및 1개의 정전용량으로 구성되어 있다. SmartSpice 시뮬레이션 결과, 구동 트랜지스터의 문턱전압이 ${\pm}0.33$ V 변동시 최대 OLED 전류의 오차율은 7.05 %이고 Vdata = 5.75 V에서 OLED 양극 전압 오차율은 0.07 %로 제안한 6T1C 화소회로가 구동 트랜지스터의 문턱전압 변동에도 균일한 OLED 전류를 공급함을 확인하였다.

Mini-LVDS has been widely used for high speed data transmission because it provides low EMI and high bandwidth for display driver. In this paper, a Mini-LVDS output buffer with LTPS TFT process is presented which provides sufficient performance in the presence of large variation in the threshold voltage and mobility and kink effect.

A voltage driving AMOLED(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) is useful for large-sized, high resolution OLED display. The conventional 2-TFTs, 1-CAP AMOLED circuit suffer from the threshold voltage variation of TFT. In this paper, a new AMOLED structure is proposed. It is composed of 5-TFTs and 2-capacitors. It is described that the operating principle and the characteristics of the proposed structure and is verified the performance by HSPICE simulation. The result of simulation shows that the effect of the threshold voltage variation in this circuit, is able to neglect.

높은 누설 전류와 문턱 전압의 이동은 비정질 실리콘(a-Si:H) 트랜지스터(TFT)의 단점이다. 이러한 특성은 게이트 절연체와 활성층 박막의 막 특성, 표면 거칠기와 공정 조건에 따라 영향을 받는다. 본 연구의 목적은 누설 전류와 문턱 전압의 특성을 개선하는데 목적이 있다. 게이트 절연체의 공정 조건에 대해서는 질소를 증가한 증착 공정 조건을 적용하였고, 활성층의 공정 조건에 대해서는 산소를 증가한 공정 조건을 적용하여 전자 포획을 감소시키고 박막의 밀도를 증가시켰다. $I_{off}$는 $65^{\circ}C$ 조건하에서 1.01 pA에서 0.18pA로, ${\Delta}V_{th}$는 -1.89 V에서 -1.22V로 개선되었다.

An active-matrix LCD using thin film transistors (TFT) has been widely recognized as having potential for high-quality color flat-panel displays. Pixel-Design Array Simulation Tool (PDAST) was used to profoundly understand the gate si후미 distortion and pixel charging capability. which are the most critical limiting factors for high-quality TFT-LCDs. Since PDAST can simulate the gate, data and pixel voltages of a certain pixel on TFT array at any time and at any location on an array, the effect of the resistivity of gate line material on the pixel operations can be effectively analyzed. The gate signal delay, pixel charging ratio and level-shift of the pixel voltage were simulated with varying the parameters. The information obtained from this study could be utilized to design the larger area and finer image quality panel.

a-Si:H and poly-Si TFT(thin film transistor) characteristics were investigated using an inverted staggered type TFT. The TFT an as-grown a-Si:H exhibited a low field effect mobility, transconductance, and high gate threshold voltage. The poly-Si films were achieved by using an isothermal and RTA treatment for glow discharge deposited a-Si:H films. The a-Si:H films were cystallized at the various temperature from 600$^{\circ}C$ to 1000$^{\circ}C$. As anneal temperature was elevated, the TFT exhibited increased g$\sub$m/ and reduced V$\sub$ds/. V$\sub$T/. The poly-Si grain boundary passivation with grain boundary trap types and activation energies as a function of anneal temperature. The poly-si TFT showed an improved I$\sub$nm//I$\sub$off/ ratio of 10$\^$6/, reduced gate threshold voltage, and increased field effect mobility by three orders.

We have proposed and fabricated a new poly-Si TFT employing air-cavities at the edges of gate oxide in order to reduce the vertical electric field induced near the drain due to low dielectric constant of air. Air-cavity has been successfully fabricated by employing the wet etching of gate oxide and APCVD (Atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition) oxide deposition. Our experimental results show that the leakage current of the proposed TFT is considerably reduced by the factor of 10 and threshold voltage shift under high gate bias is also reduced because the carrier injection into gate insulator over the drain depletion region is suppressed.

The electrical stress of short channel polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistor (TFT) has been investigated. The device characteristics of short channel poly-Si TFT with 5$\mu$m channel length has been observed to be significantly degraded such as a large shift in threshold voltage and asymmetric phenomena after the electrical stress. The dominant degradation mechanism in long channel poly-Si TFT's with 10$\mu$m and 20$\mu$m channel length respectively is charage trappling in gate oxide while that in short channel device with 5.mu.m channel length is defect creation in active poly-Si layer. We propose that the increased defect density within depletion region near drain junction due to high electric field which could be evidenced by kink effect, constitutes the important reason for this significant degradation in short channel poly-Si TFT. The proposed model is verified by comparing the amounts of the defect creation and the charge trapping from the strechout voltage.
