Abstract
The low-frequency noise (LFN) of thin-film polysilicon source-gated transistors (SGTs) is investigated. DC characteristics were firstly measured and typical behaviors of SGT were observed. Then, TCAD simulations were performed with different doping concentrations. Current density distribution shows that the variation of the conduction channel position in the thin film induces a second plateau in the (gm/ID)2 curves for bias points in subthreshold region. LFN was measured for both SGTs and thin-film field-effect transistor (TFTs) configurations. 1/f noise is confirmed as the main component of LFN in all our measurements. Carrier mobility fluctuation (CMF) is found to dominate the origin of LFN in TFT configuration and the low-current region of SGT. In the high-current region of SGT measurements, 1/f noise is mainly attributed to carrier number fluctuation (CNF).
