Abstract

Positive bias instability stress (PBI) was done on ZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) with Al2O3deposition at 100°C and 250°C. The threshold voltage (VT), transconductance (gm), and subthreshold slope (SS) were monitored where the 100°C samples demonstrated a 'turn-around' phenomenon in the ΔVT compared to the 250°C samples. The 250°C samples show consistent ΔVT, suggesting a higher Al2O3deposition temperature results in the absence of the defect responsible for the 'turn-around' effect. Both sets also demonstrate negligible degradation in Δgm and ASS -suggesting little to no influence on the VT shift by interfacial state generation.
