Solution-processed high performance HIZO thin film transistor with AZO gate dielectric

Abstract

Hafnium indium zinc oxide (HIZO) thin film transistors with zirconium aluminum oxide (AZO) gate dielectric were fabricated by solution-process. The HIZO and AZO oxide thin films have smooth surfaces with root-mean-square roughness of 0.62 nm and 0.35 nm respectively. The thin film transistor with channel length = 6 μm and the ratio of width/length =5 exhibits a high saturation field-effect mobility of 21.3 cm2/V&#183s, a low threshold voltage of 0.3 V, a high on-off ratio of 4.3×107 and a small subthreshold swing of 0.32 V/dec. And these properties of TFT may be impacted by highly-coherent and low trapping states interface between the AZO dielectric and HIZO semiconductors.
