The effect of annealing ambient on SnO2 thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated via an ethanol-based sol-gel route was investigated. The annealing ambient has a significant effect on the structural characteristics and chemical composition and, in turn, the device performance. Although the crystalline-grain size of the SnO2 films annealed in air was the smallest, this size yielded the highest field-effect mobility. Compared with the minimization of boundary scattering via crystalline-size increase, augmentation of the free carrier concentration played a more critical role in the realization of high-performance devices. The fabricated SnO2 TFTs delivered a field-effect mobility, subthreshold swing, and on/off current ratio of 10.87 cm2/Vs, 0.87 V/decade, and 107, respectively.

Abstract Oxide thin film transistors (TFTs) have attracted much attention because they can be applied to flexible and large-scaled switching devices. Especially, Oxide semiconductors (OSs) have been developed as active layers of TFTs and, among them, Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (IGZO) is actively used in the OLED display field. However, IGZO TFTs are limited by low field-effect mobility, which critically affects display resolution and power consumption, despite superior off-state properties. Herein, we prevailed new working mechanisms in dual-stacked OS and, based on this, developed dual-stacked OS-based TFT with high field-effect mobility (~80 cm2/V·s), ideal threshold voltage near 0 V, high on-off current ratio (>109), and good stability at bias stress. In dual-stacked OS, induced areas are formed at interface by band-offset: band-offset-induced area (BOIA) and BOIA-induced area (BIA). They connect gate-bias-induced area (GBIA) and electrode-bias-induced area (EBIA), resulting in high current flow. Such mechanism will provide new design rules for high performance OS-based TFTs.

Various amidine base with different pKa values are deposited via sublimation, resulting in not only an exceptionally high electron mobility of 37.8 cm2 V−1 s−1 on average (46.6 cm2 V−1 s−1 maximum) but also a high level of bias-stress stability.

ABSTRACTHigh performance poly (3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) thin film transistors (TFTs) array was fabricated on a polycarbonate substrate by micro-contact printing method. A thin polyimide layer (40 nm) was applied before silicon oxide deposition to improve the electrical properties of the TFT device. Also, the effects of O2 plasma treatment on the field effect mobility and output current behaviors of the devices were investigated. By plasma treatment, the surface roughness of gate dielectric was improved which accounts for the increased field effect mobility and the hole Schottky barrier height in electrode/semiconductor interface was lowered resulting in large drain current in the device. Based on the experiments, we fabricated P3HT TFTs array with 0.025 cm2/V·s in saturation field effect mobility and on/off current ratio of 103 ∼ 104 on a polycarbonate substrate.

ABSTRACTNormal staggered hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFT) were prepared by rf plasma deposition through a three-step process. The TFTs were constituted by an a-SiN/a-Si:H structure grown on NiCr source-drain electrodes evaporated on glass substrates. The intrinsic a-Si:H active layer (Fermi level at EC-EF = 0.7 eV) was deposited from pure SiH4 rf plasma, and the insulator layer of a-SiN was grown using a high rf power plasma (200 mW/cm2) of SiH4-N2 mixture with a SiH4 fraction of 0.5 %. Ellipsometric measurements showed that a very transparent a-SiN film was grown with an abrupt interface insulator/a-Si:H. TFTs with 0.2 μm thick a-Si:H layer and 10 μm channel length have on-off current ratios of 5 104, electron field effect mobility of 1.5 cm2/V-s (dielectric constant εri ≈ 7.9), and threshold voltage around 5 V. The results are discussed in terms of low hydrogen content and low porosity of these a-SiN films prepared from silane-nitrogen.

We utilized Ni as a floating capping layer in p-channel SnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) to improve their electrical performances. By utilizing the Ni as a floating capping layer, the p-channel SnO TFT showed enhanced mobility as high as 10.5 cm2·V−1·s−1. The increase in mobility was more significant as the length of Ni capping layer increased and the thickness of SnO active layer decreased. The observed phenomenon was possibly attributed to the changed vertical electric field distribution and increased hole concentration in the SnO channel by the floating Ni capping layer. Our experimental results demonstrate that incorporating the floating Ni capping layer on the channel layer is an effective method for increasing the field-effect mobility in p-channel SnO TFTs.
