Abstract

We report a dual-sweep combinational transconductance technique for separate extraction of parasitic source (RS) and drain (RD) resistances in thin-film transistors (TFTs) by combining forward and reverse transfer characteristics. In the proposed technique, gate bias-dependent total resistance [RTOT (VGS] and degradation of the transcond- uctance due to the parasitic resistance at the source terminal during the dual-sweep characterization are employed. Applying the proposed technique to amorphous oxide semiconductor TFTs with various combinations of channel length (L) and width (W), we successfully separated RS and RD. A model for the W - and L-dependences of the extracted parasitic resistances is also provided.
