Hot carrier effects as a function of bias stress time and bias stress consitions were syste-matically investigated in p-channel poly-Si TFT s fabricated on the quartz substrate. The device degradation was observed for the negative bias stress, while improvement of electrical characteristic except for subthreshold slope was observed for the positive bias stress. It was found that these results were related to the hot-carrier injection into the gate oxide and interface states at the poly-Si/$SiO_2$interface rather than defects states generation within the poly-Si active layer under bias stress.

New Buffered deposition is proposed to decrease junction electric field in this paper. Buffered deposition process is fabricated after first gate etch, followed NM1 ion implantation and deposition & etch nitride layer. New Buffered deposition structure has buffer layer to decrease electric field. Also we compared the hot carrier characteristics of Buffered deposition and conventional. Also, we design a test pattern including NMOSFET, PMOSFET, LvtNMOS, High pressure N/PMOSFET, so that we can evaluate DC/AC hot carrier degradation on-chip. As a result, we obtained 10 years hot carrier life time satisfaction.
