An analysis is presented of the hot-carrier degradation in a polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin film transistor (TFT) with a silicon oxynitride gate dielectric formed with plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. An introduction of silicon oxynitride into a gate dielectric significantly improves hot-carrier immunity even under the severe stressing mode of drain avalanche hot carriers. To compensate the initial negative shift of threshold voltage for TFTs with a silicon oxynitride gate dielectric, high-pressure water vapor annealing (HWA) is applied. A comparison of TFTs with and without HWA reveals that the improvement in hot-carrier immunity is mainly attributed to the introduction of Si$\equiv$N bonds into a gate dielectric.
