This research proposes a solution to the trade-off relationship between mobility and turn-on voltage (V-on) in oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) by introducing a buffer layer engineered trench-TFT (T-TFT). The T-TFT, which incorporates both Al2O3 and SiO2 buffer layers, demonstrates a high mobility and suitable V-on value by selectively utilizing the advantages of different planar-TFTs.
Oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) with high mobility that exceed 100 cm(2)/ V & sdot;s and appropriate turn-on voltage (V-on) are necessary to drive next-generation displays and memory devices. However, a trade-off relationship exists between mobility and V-on , making it difficult to achieve both in the same oxide TFT. In this letter, we propose a buffer layer engineered trench-TFT (T-TFT) as a solution to this trade-off problem. Planar-TFT (P-TFT) with an Al2O3 buffer layer exhibits a high current level; however, its V-on value is unsuitable. In contrast, P-TFT with an SiO2 buffer demonstrates a V-on close to zero, although its mobility remains below 100 cm(2)/ V & sdot;s . The T-TFT, which incorporates both Al2O3 and SiO2 buffer layers, shows a high mobility of 129 cm(2)/ V & sdot;s and a suitable V-on of -0.4 V, selectively utilizing the advantages of P-TFTs. Based on electrical measurements and material analyses, the active layer on each buffer layer performs a distinct role in the T-TFT; the active layer on SiO2 serves as the V-on determiner, owing to its low oxygen vacancy, whereas the active layer on Al2O3 enhances the mobility, through reduced electron trap sites and a smooth surface.
