By taking into account only experimentally extracted band alignments and amorphous semiconductor-specific physics, it is possible to explain apparent discrepancies in previously reported positive bias temperature instabilities (PBTI) trends. Our analysis shows that common PBTI benchmarks used in standard inversion-mode bulk Si devices cannot be employed in thin-film accumulation-mode IGZO devices. Finally, based on these insights, we propose device optimization strategies to reduce the electron trapping component of PBTI in amorphous IGZO TFTs.engFinite Element Framework for Electrostatics and Optical Simulations in IGZO TFTs-Part 2: ApplicationJournal article10.1109/ted.2026.3693665WOS:001779941400001TRANSISTORS1557-9646
