Abstract

We have investigated the reliability of short channel ($L=1.5{\mu}m$) p-type ELA poly-Si TFTs under hot carrier stress. Threshold voltage of short channel TFT was significantly more shifted to positive direction than that of long channel TFT under the same stress. This result may be attributed to electron trapping at the interface between poly-Si film and gate oxide layer.
