Lanthanum Doping Enabling High Drain Current Modulation in a p-Type Tin Monoxide Thin-Film Transistor

Abstract: Effects of lanthanum (La) loading on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of tin monoxide (SnO) films were examined as a p-type semiconducting layer. La loading up to 1.9 atom % caused the texturing of the tetragonal SnO phase with a preferential orientation of (101), which was accompanied by the smoother surface morphology. Simultaneously, the incorporated La cation suppressed the formation of n-type SnO2 in the La-doped SnO film and widened its optical band gap. These variations allowed the 1.9… Show more

“…The p-channel TFT performance is also slightly degraded with the on-to-off current of ≈10 4 and μ sat of 1.0 ± 0.3 cm 2 V −1 s −1 , but the observed TFT characteristics are nearly comparable to the most of reported p-channel SnO-TFTs. [14,18,19] Since the hole mobility and hole density are almost unchanged after the weak etching (See Table 1), the dramatic variation of TFT characteristics can be mainly attributed to the change of back-channel defects. Therefore, the absence of ambipolarity in the most reported p-channel SnO-TFTs is due to the high-density back-channel defects.…”
