A voltage reference circuit based on amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors has been reported, achieving a 1-V reference voltage with low quiescent consumption and stable temperature characteristics.
In this letter, a voltage reference circuit based on amorphous InGaZnO-based (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) is reported for the first time. Both enhancement-mode and depletion-mode TFTs in the circuit were fabricated by the use of local hydrogen doping. The 1-V reference voltage (V-REF) was achieved with an operating voltage ranging from 1.2 V to 5 V, where the line sensitivity of V-REF was 0.9%/V and the quiescent consumption was as low as 90 nW. The proposed voltage reference circuit was able to generate complementary- to-absolute temperature coefficients, resulting in stable temperature characteristics. The temperature coefficient (TC) of V-REF and I-REF was studied experimentally, where the TC of VREF was 2.3 mV/degrees at a temperature spanning from 27 degrees to 77 degrees.
