This paper presents a SPICE-based simulator, FlexiAnalyzer, for flexible thin-film transistor (TFT) circuits. This simulator performs four types of analysis: yield analysis, aging analysis, performance analysis, and weak spot analysis. This simulator considers three important effects: 1) threshold voltage variation of manufacturing process; 2) threshold voltage shift due to aging effect; and 3) mobility change due to bending effect. Six different OLED pixel drivers designed in 8-m amorphous silicon TFT technology were used in simulation results. The proposed tool provides a good solution for designers to evaluate the performance and yield of flexible TFT circuits.Index Terms-Flexible TFT circuits, spice, circuit analyzer, bending effect, aging effect.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
