High-mobility amorphous In2O3–10wt%ZnO thin film transistors

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

The authors report on the fabrication and characterization of thin film transistors that use sputter deposited amorphous indium zinc oxide both for the channel and source-drain metallizations in a gate-down configuration. The channel and source-drain layers were deposited from a single In2O3–10wt%ZnO ceramic target using dc magnetron sputtering onto an unheated substrate. The carrier densities in the channel (2.1×1017∕cm3) and source/drain regions (3.3×1020∕cm3) were adjusted by changing the reactive oxygen content in the sputter chamber during deposition. The resulting transistors operate as depletion mode n-channel field effect devices with saturation mobility of 20cm2∕Vs and on/off current ratio of 108.
