AbstractIn this paper, we investigated the performance of thin-film transistors (TFTs) with different channel configurations including single-active-layer (SAL) Sn-Zn-O (TZO), dual-active-layers (DAL) In-Sn-O (ITO)/TZO, and triple-active-layers (TAL) TZO/ITO/TZO. The TAL TFTs were found to combine the advantages of SAL TFTs (a low off-state current) and DAL TFTs (a high mobility and a low threshold voltage). The proposed TAL TFTs exhibit superior electrical performance, e.g. a high on-off state current ratio of 2 × 108, a low threshold voltage of 0.63 V, a high field effect mobility of 128.6 cm2/Vs, and a low off-state current of 3.3 pA. The surface morphology and characteristics of the ITO and TZO films were investigated and the TZO film was found to be C-axis-aligned crystalline (CAAC). A simplified resistance model was deduced to explain the channel resistance of the proposed TFTs. At last, TAL TFTs with different channel lengths were also discussed to show the stability and the uniformity of our fabrication process. Owing to its low-processing temperature, superior electrical performance, and low cost, TFTs with the proposed TAL channel configuration are highly promising for flexible displays where the polymeric substrates are heat-sensitive and a low processing temperature is desirable.

We investigated the effects of a double active layer (DAL) and acetic acid stabilizer on zinc tin oxide (ZTO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated using a solution process. The DAL was composed of two layers created by a ZTO solution doped with the same or different percentiles of an atomic Sn concentration (30 at.%, 60 at.%). The electrical performance of the ZTO TFTs significantly was improved after we added acetic acid (AA) instead of monoethanolamine (MEA). This was accomplished by applying a type 2 DAL (bottom layer: Sn 60 at.%, top layer: Sn 30 at.%, 60/30) instead of other types (30/30 or 60/60). It was demonstrated that AA plays a role in lowering the decomposition temperature, enhancing the metal-oxygen bridge, and decreasing hydroxyl groups in the film. In addition, the type 2 DAL structure (60/30) lowered the Ioff of the ZTO TFT and controlled the carrier concentration in the channel. The best performances were obtained at a Sn concentration of 60 at.% in the bottom ZTO layer and 30 at.% in the top ZTO layer, with AA added as a stabilizer. The ZTO TFT exhibited an on/off ratio of 1.1×109, a saturation mobility of 5.04 cm2/V·s, a subthreshold slope of 0.11 V/decade, and a threshold voltage of 1.6 V.
