This letter investigates the effect of repeated uniaxial mechanical stress on bias-induced degradation behavior in polycrystalline thin-film transistors (TFTs). After 100 000 iterations of channel-width-direction mechanical compression, serious threshold voltage degradation and an abnormal hump are observed. Simulation indicates that the strongest mechanical stress occurs at both sides of the channel edge, between the polycrystalline silicon and gate insulator. Since these stress points produce oxide traps in the gate insulator, the degradation of threshold voltage shift and parasitic current path can be attributed to electron trapping at these intense mechanical stress points. In addition, the degradation becomes serious with diminishing TFT size.

The mechanical properties of open-celled and closed-celled metallic foam are strongly influenced by the cellular microstructure and material properties of the base material from which the foam is made. The present study investigated the microstructure and mechanical properties of ALPORAS closed-cell Al foam. In particular, the effect of cell-size dispersity on the Young's modulus of foam was investigated through crushing experiments and numerical simulations. Crushing experiments were first conducted on two mutually perpendicular directions. Numerical models of varying cell-size dispersity and complexity were subsequently developed, including the monodispersed model that is based on the Kelvin structure, the bidispersed model, and the polydispersed model that is based on the random Laguerre tessellation algorithm. The numerical models were discretized using shell elements, and the simulations were conducted using the ABAQUS finite element method software. Relative Young's moduli with various relative densities were predicted, and the numerical convergence on the model size was studied accordingly. Numerical results obtained from all three numerical models developed were found to overestimate the experimental results by a factor of approximately 3. The difference between the numerical and experimental results can be attributed to the difference in detailed microstructural characteristics. Furthermore, the difference among numerical results obtained from the three models was insignificant.
