Amorphous silicon carbide TFTs

In this paper we present and characterize a-Si1� xCx:H thin film transistors, TFTs, fabricated by PECVD deposition. Precise modeling and parameter extraction for these devices was done using a unified procedure previously developed by us for amorphous, polycrystalline, nanocrystalline and organic TFTs. The behavior with temperature and stress of the extracted parameters is analyzed to determine similarities and differences with respect to a-Si:H TFTs. Electrical simulation allowed to estimate the localized traps energy distribution. � 2006 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
