Bias temperature stress stabilities of thin-film transistors (TFTs) using In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) channels prepared by the atomic layer deposition process were investigated with varying channel thicknesses (10 and 6 nm). Even when the IGZO channel thickness was reduced to 6 nm, the device exhibited good characteristics with a high saturation mobility of 15.1 cm(2) V-1 s(-1) and low sub-threshold swing of 0.12 V dec(-1). Excellent positive and negative bias stress stabilities were also obtained. When positive bias temperature stress (PBTS) stability was tested from 40 to 80 degrees C for 10(4) s, the threshold voltages (V-TH) of the device using the 6 nm-thick IGZO channel shifted negatively, and the V-TH shifts increased from -0.5 to -6.9 V with the increasing temperature. Time-dependent PBTS instabilities could be explained by a stretched-exponential equation, representing a charge-trapping mechanism.
