摘要
Stability of negative bias temperature stress (NBTS) of nitrogen doped amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) is investigated. Undoped a-IGZO TFT stressed at 333K exhibit a larger negative Delta V-TH (-3.21 V) with an unpredictable sub-threshold swing (SS) of hump shaped transfer curve due to the creation of meta-stable traps. Defects related hump formation has disappeared with small Delta V-TH (-1.13 V) and Delta SS (0.018 V/dec) in nitrogen doped a-IGZO TFT. It is observed that nitrogen doping enhances device stability by well controlled oxygen vacancy and trap sites in channel and channel/dielectric interface. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics.
