Electrical and optical properties of amorphous tungsten-indium-zinc oxide films for an active channel layer in thin film transistors |
초록 |
Zn-based amorphous oxide semiconductors have recently attracted attention as channel layer materials for the applications in electronics, optoelectronics, and displays. Compared with conventional amorphous silicon thin-film transistors (TFTs), oxide TFTs have several advantages such as their low-temperature processing, high transparency, and good electrical properties, which is capable of high mobility. However, it is necessary to control the carrier concentration to allow well-behaved TFT characteristics. In this study, tungsten (W) was used as carrier generation suppressor. Amorphous tungsten-indium-zinc oxide (WIZO) composition spread films deposited by combinatorial radio frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering using indium-zinc oxide (10 wt.% ZnO-doped In2O3) and WO3 targets have been systematically investigated. W composition ratio [W/(W+In+Sn), at.%] was ranged between 3 ~ 30 at.%, which was controlled by rf power of each target. All the WIZO films showed amorphous structure regardless of the changes of W contents. Transmittance of the WIZO films in the wavelength range of visible light was confirmed above 88% regardless of the W composition. It was found that the sheet resistance of amorphous WIZO films increased with the increase in the W contents, reaching the maximum sheet resistance of 27 MΩ/□ at the W composition ratio of 30 at.%. Furthermore, it is noteworthy that the WIZO films could possibly decrease their carrier concentrations with maintaining Hall mobility and transmittance for an application of oxide thin-film transistors as a channel layer. |
