  • this technology introduces local spatial variations of the trigger threshold voltage between these transistors. These variations are due to the fact that the seals and grain size of silicon are not sufficiently controllable during the step of crystallization of amorphous silicon (Si-a) in polycrystalline silicon (Poly-Si).
