Abstract

Thin film transistor (TFT) with low (1%wt) Ga-doped ZnO (GZO) as an active channel on SiO2/Si substrate has been fabricated at room temperature by rf-magnetron sputtering. The devices show a mobility of 5.7 cm2/V.s at low operation voltage (<5V), a low turn-on voltage of 0.5 V and sub-threshold swing of 85 mV/decade. The TFT device performance is significantly affected by vacuum-level and annealing temperature, which can be attributed to the removal of chemisorped oxygen in the active channel surface. Low doped GZO is a new class of high performance TFT channel material that is easy to process.
