Effects of gas environment on electronic and optical properties of amorphous indium zinc tin oxide thin films

Abstract: The electronic and optical properties of indium zinc tin oxide (IZTO) thin films grown under different gas environments were investigated by means of x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and reflection electron energy loss spectroscopy (REELS). REELS spectra revealed that IZTO thin films under argon mixed with oxygen had band gaps of 3.07 eV before annealing and 3.46 eV after annealing at 350 C in air. Meanwhile, the band gap for IZTO thin film grown under oxygen mixed with water and annealed at 350 C in air was 3… Show more

“…The bandgap was determined from the UV spectroscopic measurements by using the Tauc relation [11] (which is valid only for amorphous thin films). The optical band gaps were calculated on the basis of the optical spectral absorption and they can be determined by extrapolating the best fit line between (αhυ) 2 and hυ, where α, h, and υ are the absorption coefficient, the Planck's constant (6.626 x 10 -34 m 2 kg/s), and the frequency of incident photons, respectively [12]. The results showed in Figure 6 and tabulated in Table 1.…”

“…In comparison to a-IGZO TFTs, a-indium zinc tin oxide (IZTO) TFTs are a promising alternative for industrial application because of higher mobility [5,6]. It is reported that a-IZTO TFTs can achieve a tenfold increase in carrier mobility compared to a-IGZO TFTs and a high on/off ratio (>10 5 ) at a low annealing temperature [7,8]. Moreover, gallium (Ga) is known as a doping element that can modulate the electrical properties of an ntype oxide semiconductor [9].…”
