Environment-dependent metastability of passivation-free indium zinc oxide thin film transistor after gate bias stress

Abstract: We investigated the effects of bias stress on a passivation-free InZnO thin-film transistors ͑a-IZO TFTs͒ exposed to either the atmosphere or a vacuum. The magnitude of threshold voltage shift increased with the application duration of bias stress, to an extent that was much larger in the atmosphere than in the vacuum. The threshold voltage recovered slowly to its nearly initial value when the gate bias stress was removed. The electrical metastability was attributed to the interaction between the exposed a-IZO… Show more

“…In particular, TFTs based on oxide semiconductors have provided impressive progress in fl at panel displays (FPDs) and fl exible electronics, thanks to their relatively large mobility (>10 cm 2 V −1 s −1 ), high on/off ratio, and transmission advantage. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10] While the oxide TFTs have received attention as a promising switching device, it is still challenging to exploit p-type oxide TFTs in low power integrated circuits in comparison to their n-type counterparts. [11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] This stems from their unacceptably poor mobility and high leakage current (low on/ off current ratio), which pose critical obstacles in their practical use in low power electronics.…”
