摘要
Five-stage ring oscillators (ROs) composed of amorphous In/Ga/Zn/O (a-IGZO) channel thin-film transistors (TFTs) with the channel lengths of 10 mu m were fabricated on a glass substrate. The a-IGZO layer was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering onto the unheated substrate. The RO operated at 410 kHz (the propagation delay of 0.24 mu s/stage), when supplied with an external voltage of +18 V. This is the fastest integrated circuit based on oxide-semiconductor channel TFTs to date that operates faster than the ROs using conventional hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFTs and organic TFTs.
