Abstract

A set of analytical equations that accurately model the large-signal current-voltage and charge-storage characteristics of the poly-silicon thin film transistor (TFT) have been developed. The model is based on theories of conduction in materials with a bulkdistribution of gap states[l]. The equations are suitable for incorporation into a circuit simulator capable of transient-analysis of circuits, such as SPICE.
