This study investigates the relationship between carrier behavior and channel thickness by treating a-IGZO thin-film transistors with SCCO2. The research finds that thinner channel thickness exhibits better drivability enhancement after treatment, which is attributed to the improved M-O-M structure, reduced traps, and smoother carrier transport path.
Amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film quality can be enhanced using supercritical carbon dioxide (SCCO2). How to verify specific and accurate mechanism for the carriers inside an a-IGZO layer before and after the SCCO2 treatment is worth investigating. This work designs a-IGZO thin film transistors with different channel thicknesses (41, 28, and 19 nm), treats them using SCCO2, and analyzes the change in carrier behavior. The effect of the SCCO2 on both carrier density and carrier transport is investigated using energy band information, Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulations on density of states and resistance analyses. After the treatment, the thinner channel thickness exhibits better drivability enhancement. That is because of the fewer traps and smoother carrier transportation path resulted from better M-O-M frameworks, and decreased M-OH bonds as well as interface charges. Besides the traditional analysis methods and TCAD simulations, layer-by-layer X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and sheet resistance measurement are also applied to verify the detailed carrier mechanism behind different phenomena.
