Abstract

The drift of electrons in the channels of Thin Film Transistors is analysed for discrete grains separated by grain boundaries containing amorphous silicon. The model provides the relationship channel mobility and grain size. The relationship between drain current and the terminal voltages is also predicted. The model relates to normal high current region of transistor operation.
