Considering the impact ionization mechanism caused by high electric field in the pinch off region near the drain, an expression for the channel potential is developed. The avalanche multiplication factor, an important parameter monitoring the impact ionization phenomenon is determined and discussed. Further, an expression for the drain-source current in the kink regime is determined and studied. The dependence of the kink current on the channel length and grain size is investigated. The results so obtained are compared with experimental data and an excellent match verifies the proposed model. Keywords: Poly-Si TFT; Kink effect; Short Channel; Grain boundary. Introduction Polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistor (poly-si TFT) technology is of critical importance for large area electronics like active matrix liquid crystal displays (AMLCDs) and high density static read only memory (SRAM) circuit applications (Brotherton 995, King 995, Suzuki et al. 998, Meng et al. 2, Zhang et al. 2). The growth of interest in polycrystalline thin film transistors has been stimulated by the rapid commercial development of such devices. For a poly-si TFT biased in the saturation region at high drain voltages the peak electric field is very high such that impact ionization causes generation of electron-hole pairs (Hack and Lewis 99, Valdinoci et al. 997, Bindra et al. 23). The impact ionization effect in these devices is strongly influenced by the grain boundary and makes analytical modelling a difficult task. The kink effect is found to be severe in the case of short channel poly-si TFTs and hence an important region to model and investigate. Several authors have preformed two-dimensional numerical simulations to investigate the kink effect (Hack et al. 99, 99 Yamada and Koyanegi 99). Most of the proposed models for the short channel poly-si TFTs deal with the subthreshold and linear regions only (Chopra and Gupta 2a, 2b, 2). *Corresponding author. rsgu@bol.net.in International Journal of Electronics ISSN print/issn online ß 26 Taylor & Francis DOI:.8/
2 28 S. Chopra et al. Jacunski et al. (999) discussed the kink effect through an empirical model but failed to give any physical insight to this effect. Chung et al. (996) described the kink effect as a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) effect similar to one seen in Silicon on Insulator (SOI) devices. But two-dimensional numerical simulation (Hack et al. 99, 99, Yamada et al. 99, Armstrong et al. 996, Fortunato 997) has identified the nature of kink effect to be due to impact-ionization mechanism in the high field region. Chen et al. (995) has modelled the kink regime of a long channel polysilicon TFT as an impact ionization phenomenon. As the device dimensions are reduced several secondary effects are introduced which have to be accounted for to predict the device characteristics accurately. But the analysis of Chen et al. (995) does not incorporate short channel and grain boundary effects. It is, therefore, important to develop an analytical model for the short channel poly-si TFT which depicts the kink regime but also characterizes its dependence on channel length, the grain size and various biases applied. To achieve a physical insight to the kink effect, an analytical model for the channel potential and drain-source current in the kink regime is developed. An expression for the channel potential near the drain under the influence of high electric fields is determined. The modelled channel potential is then used to determine the avalanche multiplication factor, an essential parameter required to determine the kink current. An expression for the drain-source current in the kink regime also referred to as the kink current is then developed. An extensive study of the kink regime of the short channel poly-si TFT is conducted and discussed. The results so obtained are coupled with the model developed for the linear region and compared with experimental data. An excellent match is found. 2. Model formulation Figure (a) shows the top gate structure of a polycrystalline silicon thin film transistor. The polycrystalline material shown is composed of a linear chain of identical crystallites having grain boundaries of negligible thickness and lying perpendicular to the channel. In figure (b) the post-saturation region or the velocity-saturated depleted region of the channel, near the drain, where impact ionization occurs is shown. The model makes use of a quasi two-dimensional approach proposed by El-Mansy and Boothroyd (977). The starting point of the analysis is Gauss s law applied to a rectangular box in the velocity-saturated depleted region of the channel and drain (figure (b)). The bottom of the box is at a certain thickness where the normal electric field is negligible. So, the bottom of the box is chosen to coincide with an electric field line that happens to be parallel to the surface. From two-dimensional simulations, the field line is usually found around the junction depth (y j ) because many electric field lines emanate from the corner of the n þ junction. 2..

The effective donor density is given as n eff ¼ n d þ n st /L g. Here n d is the average doping concentration in the poly-si material, L g is the grain size and n st is the trapping density at the grain boundary. The effective carrier concentration is not sensitive to the variations of the trap level energy as all the traps are assumed to be completely filled by the inversion carriers in the post-saturation region.

As the channel dimensions are reduced short channel effects become prominent and have to be included in the model formulation to predict accurate results. As the polycrystalline material consists of a number of grain boundaries in the film acting as trap centers the impact of the grain boundaries is also an important parameter which should be incorporated while defining the threshold voltage.

Kink current At short channel lengths and high drain bias, the maximum electric field experienced by the carriers at the drain end is increased. As the carriers move from source to drain, they can acquire enough kinetic energy in the high field region so as to cause impact ionization and leads to the generation of electron-hole pairs. These generated electrons are drawn towards the drain end and cause an increase in the drain current. While the holes drift towards the substrate and get accumulated in the substrate. The substrate potential rises till it becomes forward biased, causing further injection of electrons from the source. This added current augments the impact ionization. This effect results in a drastic increase in the drain current at high drain voltages.

The current which arises as a result of impact ionization is given as (Arora 993) I kink ¼ I dsat ðm aval Þ ð3þ where I dsat is the drain current in the saturation region (Chopra et al. 2). The drain current in the saturation region is calculated by replacing the normal channel length L by the reduced channel length (L L d ) and V d with V dsat in the linear region current equation. Including these factors, the drain current in the saturation region (Chopra et al. 2) for a short channel TFT is, therefore, given as I dsat ¼ ( " sffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffiffi#!)

M aval is determined by integrating the electron impact ionization factor throughout the post-saturation region as Z L M aval ¼ a i exp b i dx ð5þ Ex ð Þ a i and b i are the impact ionization constants.

Results and discussion Figure 2 shows the drain-source current of a short channel poly-si TFT for various gate voltages. At high drain bias, an anomalous increase in drain current is seen. This effect is well explained as due to impact ionization in the pinch-off region. The results are combined with the linear region model (Chopra et al. 2) for a short channel poly-si TFT. An excellent match with the experimental data (Chung et al. 996) verifies the proposed model. Figure 3 illustrates the dependence of the kink current on the channel length. It is observed that the kink effect becomes more severe as we approach sub-micron devices. This could be due to a reduction in the overall space charge. Experimental observations (Chung et al. 996) have also shown that the kink effect is more pronounced at shorter channel lengths. The variation of the kink current with gate bias for various drain voltages is shown in figure 3 (inset). It is observed that the kink current increases initially, peaks and then decreases. The initial increase occurs due to the increase in the horizontal component of the electric field. At higher gate voltages, the vertical Figure 2.

While, as expected the kink current increases with increase in drain voltage. Figure 4 shows the variation of maximum electric field with grain size of a poly-si TFT. As can be seen from the curves, the electric field decreases with increase in

As the grain size increases the number of grain boundaries in a given channel length decrease and so do the number of traps. This causes the electric field to decrease. In figure 4 (inset) the dependence of maximum electric field on gate bias is portrayed. The maximum electric field can be seen to decrease with gate voltage. The dependence on the gate voltage occurs through the drain saturation voltage. Larger gate bias leads to a higher drain saturation voltage and this ultimately lowers the maximum electric field. Also, a larger drain voltage produces a higher peak electric field as shown. The avalanche multiplication factor is an important parameter monitoring the impact ionization effect. The dependence of this factor on the grain size of a poly-si TFT is depicted in figure 5. As the grain size increases, a smaller average trapped density results. This in turn leads to a lower avalanche effect since it requires less energy to break a bond in the trap state as compared to a normal bond. The variation with gate voltage shows the decrease in the multiplication factor with increasing gate bias. This is due to a reduction in the lateral electric field at higher gate voltages. 4. Conclusion An effective analytical model for the kink regime of a short channel polysilicon thin film transistor is described. The work is based on the impact ionization phenomenon that occurs near the drain due to high fields generated. Expressions for the channel potential, avalanche multiplication factor and kink current are developed. The analysis also incorporates short channel and grain boundary effects in the expressions developed and are important as these effects are seen to be more

The paper also depicts the dependence of the kink current on various applied bias. The model is coupled with the model for linear regime of a short channel polysilicon thin film transistor and produces, therefore, a model valid for all regions of device.
