摘要：
Current paths over grain boundaries in polycrystalline silicon films have been analyzed using two-dimensional simulations. It is found that the current path is winding and longer than the distance between the electrodes. It is also found that the current path tends to how perpendicular to the grain boundary and avoids the vertex of the grains. The reason why the current path tends to Row perpendicular to the grain boundary can also be explained using an analytical method.
