Abstract

The temperature dependence in the typical temperature operating range from300 K up to 370 K of the electrical characteristics of IGZO TFTs fabricated at temperatures not exceeding 200 °C is presented and modeled. It is seen that up to T = 330 K, the transfer curves show a parallel shift toward more negative voltages. In both subthreshold and above threshold regimes, the drain current shows Arrhenius-type dependence. In the latter case, for low temperatures, the activation energy is around 0.35 eV for VGS=10 V, reducing as VGS is increased. The observed behavior is consistent with having the VRH transport mechanism as the predominant one in conduction.
