Transparent IGZO TFT with ITO/Ti S/D contacts achieved enhanced performance and reliability, making it very promising for transparent display applications.
Enhancement in performance and reliability of transparent IGZO thin-film transistor (TFT) was achieved by adopting a laminated structure with a thin ITO layer and an ultrathin Ti layer as the source/drain (S/D) contacts. Compared with the transparent TFT with pure ITO S/D contacts, the transparent TFT with the ITO/Ti S/D contacts showed three times of enhancement in field-effect mobility from 4.75 to 12.10 cm2/Vs, two times of enhancement in on/off current ratio from 7.0 x 107 to 1.54 x 108, three times of reduction in contact resistance from 15.74 to 4.64 k & omega;, and a decrease in threshold voltage from 3.11 V to 2.80 V. The TFT with the ITO/Ti S/D contacts also maintained an extremely low leakage current at zero gate bias (for the device with channel width/channel length of 40 & mu;m/5 & mu;m, the leakage current was & SIM;1 x 10-13 A). In addition, the TFT with the ITO/Ti S/D contacts showed a hump-free transfer curve and a smaller shift in threshold voltage under negative bias illumination stress. The enhancement in performance and reliability makes the transparent TFT with the ITO/Ti S/D contacts very promising in transparent display applications.
