The low-temperature polysilicon oxide (LTPO) complementary metal-oxidesemiconductor (CMOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) is fabricated by p-type lowtemperature polysilicon (LTPS) TFT and n-type amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) TFT using coplanar structure. A double-stack SiO 2 layer deposited by high temperature first and then low-temperature process is used as a gate insulator for LTPS TFT, leading to reduce the number of photomask steps. The p-channel LTPS TFT of the fabricated LTPO circuits exhibits the field-effect mobility (μ FE) and threshold voltage (V TH) of 89.9 cm 2 (V s) À1 and À5.5 V, respectively. However, the a-IGZO TFT exhibits the μ FE of 22.5 cm 2 (V s) À1 and V TH of À1.3 V. Both the LTPS TFT and a-IGZO TFT show excellent bias stability (ΔV TH of <0.1 V) and zero hysteresis voltage, which reveals the excellent interface between gate insulator and semiconductor. The LTPO CMOS inverter exhibits a gain of 264.5 V V À1 and a high noise margin of 4.29 V, and a low noise margin of 3.69 V at V DD of 8 V. Therefore, the LTPO TFT technology developed in this work can be a promising candidate for low cost, large-area manufacturing of display, and TFT electronics.
