چکیده
In this paper high resolution transmission electron microscopy analysis is performed on indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors to determine the crystal structure of the material. The relative elemental concentrations of indium, gallium, zinc and oxygen were quantified and analyzed using energy dispersive spectroscopy before and after subjection to positive gate bias temperature stress at 80 °C. Notable changes in the concentration of oxygen in the device channel were observed along with a reduced concentration of the elements indium, gallium and zinc after electrical stressing. We speculate this relative reduction in metal concentration could be attributed to the outdiffusion of metal ions from the channel region into the surrounding thermal oxide and the increase in the oxygen concentration in the stressed device is related to electric field assisted adsorption of oxygen from the ambient.

The electrical characteristics and stabilities of dual-gate (DG) coplanar homojunction amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin-film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs) are described. When the gate voltage is applied on top and bottom electrodes, the DG a-IGZO TFT showed an excellent electrical performance with the subthreshold swing of 99 mV/dec, the mobility of 15.1 cm/V·s and the on-off ratio of 10.

متن کاملMetallization strategies for In2O3-based amorphous oxide semiconductor materials
Amorphous oxide semiconductors based on indium oxide [e.g., In–Zn–O (IZO) and In–Ga–Zn–O (IGZO)] are of interest for use in thin-film transistor (TFT) applications. We report that the stability of amorphous In–Zn–O (a-IZO) used in TFT applications depends, in part, on the metallization materials used to form the source and drain contacts. A thermodynamics-based approach to the selection of IZO ...
