Abstract

In this paper, the total-dose effect of X-ray irradiation on lowerature polycrystalline-silicon (LTPS) thin film transistors (TFTs) is studied. Experiments under different conditions, including fixed intensity, fixed time, fixed total dose, short shot with different frequencies and high/low intensity for short/long time were performed and analyzed. With an increase of the irradiation dose, the threshold voltage ( V^th ) shifts negatively, the subthreshold swing ( S.S.) degrades and the field effect mobility decreases owing to positive trapped charges and interface traps. All magnitude of negative shifts of ( V^th ), ( S.S. ) and field effect mobility for LTPS TFTs are well correlated to the total accumulated dose. The results are consistent with ( V^th} ) shift due to trapped holes and the interface traps for mobility.
