The mechanism of threshold voltage shift was studied. It is believed that the instability in threshold voltage during gate bias stress is due to capture of electrons by the SiC/gate dielectric interface traps and the gate dielectric near interface traps. New experimental platform was designed and built successfully. When positive stress or negative stress is applied to the gate, the change of threshold voltage occur immediately. After stress removal, the recovery of the threshold voltage occur soon. The change and recovery of threshold voltage are very sensitive to time. In order to get accurate threshold voltage drift data after high-temperature gate bias experiment, test of threshold voltage must be carried out immediately after the experiment.

In this work, two stacked gate dielectrics of Al2O3/tetraethyl-orthosilicate (TEOS) oxide were deposited by using the equivalent capacitance with 100-nm thick TEOS oxide on the patterned InGaZnO layers to evaluate the electrical characteristics and stability improvement of amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) devices, including positive bias stress (PBS) and negative bias stress (NBS) tests. Three different kinds of gate dielectrics (Al2O3, TEOS, Al2O3/TEOS) were used to fabricate four types of devices, differing by the gate dielectric, as well as its thickness. As the Al2O3 thickness of Al2O3/TEOS oxide dielectric stacks increased, both the on-current and off-current decreased, and the transfer curves shifted to larger voltages. The lowest ∆Vth of 0.68 V and ∆S.S. of −0.03 V/decade from hysteresis characteristics indicate that the increase of interface traps and charge trapping between the IGZO channel and gate dielectrics is effectively inhibited by using two stacked dielectrics with 10-nm thick Al2O3 and 96-nm thick TEOS oxide. The lowest ∆Vth and ∆S.S. values of a-IGZO TFTs with 10-nm thick Al2O3 and 96-nm thick TEOS oxide gate dielectrics according to the PBS and NBS tests were shown to have the best electrical stability in comparison to those with the Al2O3 or TEOS oxide single-layer dielectrics.

ABSTRACTThe electrical characteristics of n- and p-channel poly-Si thin film transistors having a double layer gate dielectric structure are reported. The gate dielectric consists of a silicon dioxide layer and a nitrogen-rich silicon nitride layer, both deposited by PECVD at low temperatures (≥400° C). When the silicon nitride was in contact with the poly-Si film, the effective carrier mobility (μeff), threshold voltage (Vth and subthreshold swing (St) for n-channel devices were 36 cm2/Vsec, -1.8 V and 1.65 V/decade, respectively, while for p-channel devices were 6 cm2/Vsec, -37 and 2.47 V/decade, respectively. These devices were not stable under negative gate bias stress, due to the injection of holes into the silicon nitride. When silicon dioxide was in contact with the poly-Si film, the μeff, Vth and St for n-channel devices were 26 cm2/Vsec, 3 V and 1.63 V/decade, respectively, while for p-channel devices were 10 cm2/Vsec, -22 V and 1.52 V/decade, respectively. These devices were stable under d.c. bias stress.
