In this paper, an infrared annealing method was proposed for solution-processed indium gallium zinc oxide films. The optimized IGZO thin-film transistors (TFTs) exhibited a field-effect mobility of 2.04 cm 2 (Vs) -1 , on-off current ratio of 1.52 × 10 6 and subthreshold swing of 0.84 V/dec. Spectroscopic analysis confirmed that the infrared irradiation could enhance the removal of organic species and dehydroxylation. The results suggest that infrared annealing method is a potential process for low-temperature preparation of solution-processed oxide semiconductor layers and dielectric layers, and can be applied to the fabrication of TFT devices.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
