Abstract

We have investigated the electrical characteristics of the poly-Si TFT's with the novel gate insulator structure. The gate insulator makes the offset region to reduce leakage current, and the electrical characteristics are obtained by employing Virtual Wafer Fab. simulator. As increases the gate insulator thickness above the offset region of this structure from $0{\AA}$ to $2000{\AA}$, the OFF state current at $V_G$=10V decrease by two orders in magnitude while ON state current doesn't decrease significantly. ON/OFF current ratios for conventional device and the proposed device with $2000{\AA}$ gate insulator thickness are $1.68{\times}10^5$ and $1.07{\times}10^7$, respectively.
