Metal-oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been implanted for a display panel, but further mobility improvement is required for future applications. In this study, excellent performance was observed for top-gate coplanar binary SnO2 TFTs, with a high field-effect mobility (μFE) of 136 cm2/Vs, a large on-current/off-current (ION/IOFF) of 1.5 × 108, and steep subthreshold slopes of 108 mV/dec. Here, μFE represents the maximum among the top-gate TFTs made on an amorphous SiO2 substrate, with a maximum process temperature of ≤ 400 °C. In contrast to a bottom-gate device, a top-gate device is the standard structure for monolithic integrated circuits (ICs). Such a superb device integrity was achieved by using an ultra-thin SnO2 channel layer of 4.5 nm and an HfO2 gate dielectric with a 3 nm SiO2 interfacial layer between the SnO2 and HfO2. The inserted SiO2 layer is crucial for decreasing the charged defect scattering in the HfO2 and HfO2/SnO2 interfaces to increase the mobility. Such high μFE, large ION, and low IOFF top-gate SnO2 devices with a coplanar structure are important for display, dynamic random-access memory, and monolithic three-dimensional ICs.

Sol-gel processed SnO2 thin-film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated on SiO2/p+ Si substrates. The SnO2 active channel layer was deposited by the sol-gel spin coating method. Precursor concentration influenced the film thickness and surface roughness. As the concentration of the precursor was increased, the deposited films were thicker and smoother. The device performance was influenced by the thickness and roughness of the SnO2 active channel layer. Decreased precursor concentration resulted in a fabricated device with lower field-effect mobility, larger subthreshold swing (SS), and increased threshold voltage (Vth), originating from the lower free carrier concentration and increase in trap sites. The fabricated SnO2 TFTs, with an optimized 0.030 M precursor, had a field-effect mobility of 9.38 cm2/Vs, an SS of 1.99, an Ion/Ioff value of ~4.0 × 107, and showed enhancement mode operation and positive Vth, equal to 9.83 V.
