We studied the channel-width dependence of oxide-semiconductor TFTs via a device simulator. The results show that the ON-current is affected by two factors: self-heating and edge effects. The former increases the current with a rise in temperature, while the latter produces the high edge current-density caused by its strong electric-field.
