AbstractThin film transistors were fabricated using amorphous IZO (In2O3-10wt%ZnO) with low carrier concentration (∼3×1017/cm3) for the channel material and a-IZO with high carrier concentration (∼2×1020/cm3) for source-drain metallization. The performance of a-IZO channel materials processed entirely at room temperature was established using a simple gate-down thin film transistor device. The TFT test structures were fabricated on p-type Si substrates with a thermally grown SiO2 gate oxide. The channel and metallization layers were sputter deposited from a commercially available IZO target at room temperature in a gas atmosphere containing 10 vol.% and 0 vol.% oxygen, respectively. The TFT devices are depletion mode n-channel devices with a high saturation mobility (∼20cm2/Vs) and high on/off ratio (∼108) and, as such, appear to be well suited for active matrix TFT applications.
