Abstract

In this paper, the effect of mechanical strain on the performance of an hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistor (TFT) with different channel length on metal foil substrate under uniaxial compressive or tensile strain was studied, where the strain is parallel to the TFT source-drain current path. The process of TFT with the maximum temperature 190°C exhibited a field-effect mobility of 0.1 cm2/Vs and a threshold voltage of 1.95 V and the leakage current of less than 10-13 A. The TFTs were strained by inward (compression) or outward (tension) cylindrical bending. The mobility had a slightly change under the mechanical strain, which was due to the change in the disorder under bending strain.
