Abstract
Abstract This letter investigates the negative‐bias temperature instability (NBTI) behavior of p ‐channel low‐temperature polycrystalline silicon thin‐film transistors (LTPS TFTs) on plastic substrate. The measurements reveal that the threshold‐voltage positive shift is highly correlated to the passivation of grain boundary trap states. By applying the established phenomenon such as NBTI recovery and H diffusion from PI substrate, a new model is introduced to explain the mechanism and verified by the experiment. With the thick buffer and bottom metal layer or newly processed PI substrate, we succeeded in adjusting the NBTI behavior of LTPS TFTs on plastic substrate.
