摘要
We report on high-performance n-channel thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated using amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) and amorphous Ba0.5Sr0.5TiO3 (a-BST) as the channel and gate dielectric layers, respectively. a-BST/a-IGZO TFTs achieve low-voltage operation with a high saturation mobility value of 10 +/- 1 cm(2)/V s, excellent subthreshold slopes of 0.06 +/- 0.01 V/decade, a low threshold voltage of 0.5 +/- 0.1 V, and a high on-off current ratio up to 8x10(7) (W/L=1000 mu m/5 mu m) at 3 V. The high capacitance density of a-BST (145 +/- 2 nF/cm(2)) and the small contact resistance, smaller than the channel resistance, are responsible for the high performance of these TFTs.
