Inkjet printing is a very attractive technology for printed electronics and a potential alternative to current high cost and multi-chemical lithography processes, for display and other applications in the electronics field. Inkjet technology can be employed to fabricate organic light emitting diodes (OLED), quantum dots displays, and thin-film transistors (TFTs). Among potential applications, metal oxide TFTs, which have good properties and moderate processing methods, could be prepared using inkjet printing in the display industry. One effective method of improving their electrical properties is via doping. Lithium doping an oxide TFT is a very delicate process, and difficult to get good results. In this study, lithium was added to indium-zinc oxide (IZO) for inkjet printing to make oxide TFTs. Electrical properties, transfer and output curves, were achieved using inkjet printing even at the relatively low annealing temperature of 200 oC. After optimizing the inkjet process parameters, a 0.01 M Li-doped IZO TFT at 400 oC showed a mobility of 9.08 ± 0.7 cm2/V s, a sub-threshold slope of 0.62 V/dec, a threshold voltage of 2.66 V, and an on-to-off current ratio of 2.83 × 108. Improved bias stability and hysteresis behavior of the inkjet-printed IZO TFT were also achieved by lithium doping.

In this work, short-channel semitransparent indium-tin-oxide (ITO)/Au electrode pairs were fabricated via inkjet printing and lift-off technology. The printed hydrophobic coffee stripes not only define the channel length of ITO/Au electrode pairs, but also help the realization of uniform short-channel In0.95Ga0.05Ox thin-film transistors (TFTs). The patterned semitransparent ITO/Au films, with the assistance of inkjet printing, exhibit an excellent conductivity compared to that of printed ITO films, and the short-channel In0.95Ga0.05Ox TFTs based on the semitransparent ITO/Au source/drain electrodes exhibit a maximum mobility of 2.9 cm2 V−1 s−1. This work proposes a method to prepare patterned high-conductive electrodes for TFTs with the assistance of inkjet printing.

In this study, we investigated the effect of electrode materials on the electrical characteristics of coplanar top-gate a-ITGZO thin-film transistors, in which the gate, source, and drain electrodes were made of the same metal, Ti or Al. The field-effect mobilities of the a-ITGZO thin-film transistors with Ti and Al electrodes were 35.2 and 20.1 cm2/V·s, respectively, and the threshold voltage of the a-ITGZO thin-film transistor with Ti electrodes was −0.4 V, whereas that of the transistor with Al electrodes was −1.8; this shift is attributed to the fact that Ti has a higher work function than Al. When Ti was used as the source and drain electrode material, the channel resistance and effective channel length were reduced owing to the penetration of metal atoms into the channel region from the edge of the source/drain electrodes.
