摘要
We report on low-voltage, high-performance amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide n-channel thin-film transistors fabricated using 100-nm-thick Al2O3 grown by atomic layer deposition as the gate dielectric layer. The Al2O3 gate dielectric shows very small current densities and has a capacitance density of 81 +/- 1 nF/cm(2). Due to a very small contact resistance, transistors with channel lengths ranging from 100 mu m down to 5 mu m yield a channel-independent, field-effect mobility of 8 +/- 1 cm(2)/V s, subthreshold slopes of 0.1 +/- 0.01 V/decade, low threshold voltages of 0.4 +/- 0.1 V, and high on-off current ratios up to 6x10(7) (W/L=400/5 mu m) at 5 V.
