In this letter, we propose a strategy to improve the electrical performance of amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) thin film transistor (TFT) with the copper (Cu) electrodes by depositing a 30-nm thick In-Sn-O (ITO) interlayer on top of IGZO layer to suppress Cu migration. As a result, the a-IGZO TFT with ITO interlayer exhibits enhanced electrical performance (V-TH of 1.5 V, mu(FE) of 11.5 cm(2)/Vs, SS of 0.2 V/dec, I-ON/I-OFF of 2.4 x 10(10), and RCW: 18 cm).
