Abstract

We propose the modeling methodology of CMOS inverter made of LTPO TFT using a machine learning. LTPO can achieve advantages of LTPS TFT with high electron mobility as a driving TFT and IGZO TFT with low off-current as a switching TFT. However, since the unified model of both LTPS and IGZO TFTs is still lacking, it is necessary to develop a SPICE-compatible compact model to simulate the LTPO current-voltage characteristics. In this work, a generic framework for combining the existing formula of I-V characteristics with artificial neural network is presented. The weight and bias values of ANN for LTPS and IGZO TFTs is obtained and implemented into PSPICE circuit simulator to predict CMOS inverter. This methodology enables efficient modeling for predicting LTPO TFT circuit characteristics.
