摘要
ZnO thin films were deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD) at various temperatures and the resulting electrical and chemical properties were examined. The fraction of O-H bonds in ZnO films decreased from 0.39 to 0.24 with increasing processing temperatures. The O/Zn ratio decreased from 0.90 at 70 degrees C to 0.78 at 130 degrees C. The carrier concentration and resistivity changed sharply with decreasing temperature. The ZnO thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated at processing temperatures of 70 to 130 degrees C and the electrical properties of the TFT were as follows: the field-effect mobility ranged from 8.82 x 10(-3) to 6.11 x 10(-3) cm(2) V-1 s(-1), the on/off current ratio ranged from 1.28 x 10(6) to 2.43 x 10(6), the threshold voltage ranged from -12.5 to 14.7 V and the subthreshold swing ranged from 1.21 to 24.1 V/decade. The electrical characteristics of the ZnO TFT were enhanced as the processing temperature decreased.
