Abstract

We propose a systematic calculation method for negative bias illumination stress (NBIS)-induced instabilities in amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs). The proposed method is based on activation energy window (AEW) in subgap energy range, and it can reproduce the NBIS time evolution of I-V characteristics without long-term stress test. Furthermore, it quantitatively explains the effect of oxygen content on the NBIS instability. The AEW, which is employed for emulating the oxygen vacancy ionization, peroxide formation, and hole trapping, has the order of magnitude of 1016-1017 cm-3 for the bias stress of -20 V and the commercial LED backlight of 300 cd/m². The proposed method is expected to play such an important role in the instability awareness of amorphous oxide TFTs. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
