Residual Image Suppression Through Annealing Process of Amorphous Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide Thin Film Transistor for Plastic Organic Light-Emitting Diode Display.

For the evaluation of the residual image suppression, the amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide thin film transistor was manufactured with electric field shield metal on silicon oxide multi-buffer layer, without the need for a silicon crystallization process through the excimer laser process, and is advantageous for the manufacture of large-scale plastic organic light-emitting display. We conducted a study on the propensity to suppress a residual image according to the temperature of the annealing process in amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide. The evaluation divided by the ambient process temperature conditions to measure the change and restoration tendency of the gray current by the black/white current of thin film transistors, and for precise measurement of the current change intervals, the current was analyzed in 0.004 seconds per point. Through the study, residual image of amorphous Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide transistor was found to be suppressed as the temperature of the annealing crystallization increased from 250°C to 325°C, and there was no improvement effect on the 325°C or higher. The trend of threshold voltage shift of thin film transistors according to the two process temperature conditions, 250°C and 325°C, was analyzed by Two sample T analysis method, and the analysis confirmed that the trend of current deterioration is different through -value 0.007.
