Zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films were fabricated on SiO2/Si substrate as a function of Mg concentration (the ratio of 3 to 10 atomic%) using a spin-coating process. For the characterization of thin film transistors (TFTs), Zn0.3Sn0.70 channel TFT exhibited a higher on/off ratio compared to Zn0.5 Sn.0.5O channel TFT because the higher Sn concentration can induce more charge carriers. 3 atomic% Mg incorporated Zn0.3Sn0.7O channel TFTs showed stable electrical performances such as I(on/off) - 1 x 10(7), micro(sat) = 1.40 cm2 V(-1) s(-1), and S = 0.39 V/decade. However, 10 atomic% Mg incorporated Zn0.3Sn0.7O channel TFTs deteriorated their electrical performances due to Mg segregation. The Mg incorporated Zn0.3Sn0.7O channel TFTs effectively suppress off-current and threshold voltage change during positive gate bias stress due to their strong bonding with oxygen.
采用旋涂工艺在SiO2/Si衬底上制备了不同Mg浓度(原子比为3%至10%)的氧化锌锡(ZTO)薄膜。对于薄膜晶体管(TFT)的表征,Zn0.3Sn0.7O沟道TFT与Zn0.5Sn0.5O沟道TFT相比具有更高的开/关比,因为较高的Sn浓度可以诱导更多的电荷载流子。掺入3原子%Mg的Zn0.3Sn0.7O沟道TFT表现出稳定的电学性能,如I(开/关)-1×10(7),μ(sat)=1.40 cm2 V(-1) s(-1),以及S = 0.39 V/十倍频程。然而,掺入10原子%Mg的Zn0.3Sn0.7O沟道TFT由于Mg偏析而使其电学性能恶化。掺入Mg的Zn0.3Sn0.7O沟道TFT由于其与氧的强键合作用,在正栅极偏压应力下有效地抑制了关态电流和阈值电压的变化。
