Abstract

Polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors of the Field-Induction-Drain (FID) type are studied. The transistors have an inversion layer generated by the electric field acting as the drain, facilitating a lower leakage current while sustaining a high ON current. Experiments achieved an OFF current of 1.5 pA/micrometer and an ON/OFF current ratio of 10 to the seventh power. These are attributed to the superior junction properties of the FID structure.
