We propose an explicit surface-potential-based direct current (dc) model for fully depleted polysilicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs). Being analytical and explicit, the proposed model is a solid base for compact models of these devices. The essential for our model is the explicit calculation of the surface potential, using the Lambert W function. Subsequently, using the surface potential, we also develop the expressions for charge and current, employing well established approaches, which include integration of carrier's charge for drain current. Furthermore, the solutions of surface potential and drain current were validated by numerical results and experimental data, respectively. Finally, we discussed in detail about the effects on the surface potential and dc properties from the full depleted poly-Si TFT parameters. As a result, such a model is suitable to be implemented into computer-aided simulations of both device and circuit designs, due to its high computational accuracy and efficiency.
