- Abstract
- Demonstrated herein is the effect of mechanical stress on the device performance and stability of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) on a flexible polyimide substrate. Flexible TFTs were placed on jigs with various bending radii to apply different degrees of mechanical strain on them. When the tensile strain on the TFTs was increased from 0.19% to 0.93%, the threshold voltage shifted after a 10,000 s increase in bias-temperature-stress (BTS), under vacuum conditions. The BTS instability was further exacerbated when the device was exposed to the air ambient at a 0.93% strain. The device reliability deteriorated due to the increase in the subgap density of states as well as the enhanced ambient effects via the strain-induced gas permeation paths.
