Abstract

A novel method to derive the output characteristics of a-Si:H thin film transistors from the channel conductance curve is presented. The Method well reproduces the experimental data both in the linear and saturation regimes without using any adjustable parameter. The Method is simple and fast enough to be used in a circuit simulator.
