    In this study, amorphous indium gallium oxide thin-film transistors (IGO TFTs) were fabricated by co-sputtering. Three samples with different deposition powers of the In2O3 target, namely, sample A with 50 W deposition power, sample B with 60 W deposition power, and sample C with 70 W deposition power, were investigated. The device performance revealed that oxygen vacancies are strongly dependent on indium content. However, when the deposition power of the In2O3 target increased, the number of oxygen vacancies, which act as charge carriers to improve the device performance, increased. The best performance was recorded at a threshold voltage of 1.1 V, on-off current ratio of 4.5 x 10(6), and subthreshold swing of 3.82 V/dec in sample B. Meanwhile, the optical properties of sample B included a responsivity of 0.16 A/W and excellent ultraviolet-to-visible rejection ratio of 8 x 10(4). IGO TFTs may act as photodetectors according to the results obtained for optical properties.

    By virtue of the film-profile engineering scheme and properly designed device structure, ZnO TFTs with discrete bottom gates and sub-micron channels were fabricated and characterized. In the fabrication, a suspended bridge constructed over the bottom gate is used to tailor the profile of subsequently deposited films. Superior electrical characteristics in terms of ultrahigh ON/OFF current ratio (similar to 10(10)), steep sub-threshold swing (66 similar to 108 mV/dec), and very low off-state leakage current are demonstrated with the fabricated devices. Effects of channel lengths on the device characteristics are also explored. Because of more effective shadowing of the depositing species with a longer suspended bridge, the deposited films become thinner at the central channel. As a result, the device shows more positive turn-on voltage and better subthreshold swing with increasing channel length.

    In this paper, strained channel-sidewall damascened tri-gate polycrystalline silicon thin-film transistors (SC-SWDTG TFTs) have been successfully fabricated and then demonstrated by an innovative process flow. This process flow without the use of advanced lithography processes combines the sidewall damascened technique (SWDT) and two strain techniques, namely, the strain proximity free technique (SPFT), and the stress memorization technique (SMT), in the poly-Si channels. It has some advantages: (1) the channel shapes and dimensions can be effectively controlled by the wet etching processes and the deposition thickness of the tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) oxide; (2) the source/drain (S/D) resistance can be significantly decreased by the formation of the raised S/D structures; (3) the SPFT, SMT, and the rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment can enhance the performance of the SC-SWDTG TFTs without the limitation of the highly scaling stress liner thickness in deep-submicron TFTs. Thus, the SC-SWDTG TFTs exhibit a steep subthreshold swing (S.S.) similar to 110mV/dec., an extremely small drain induced barrier lowing (DIBL) similar to 12.2mVV(-1), and a high on/off ratio similar to 10(7) (V-D = 1V) without plasma treatments for future three-dimensional integrated circuits (3D ICs) applications.

    Positive gate bias instability alleviated by self-passivation effect in amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors

    The threshold voltage shift (Delta Vth) under positive gate bias stress (PGBS), generally found in amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs), has usually been suppressed by external passivation layers. We report it can also be alleviated by the self-passivation effect of the active layer, where moderately increasing the active layer thickness (d(s)) reduces Delta Vth by 82% in SiOx-passivated a-IGZO TFTs. Our experiments in conjunction with simulations show that the instability of V-th comes from ambient factors at the back channel. Larger d(s) results in lower carrier concentrations at the back channel (N-back), fewer diffusive ions affecting the front channel, and much more stable operations under PGBS. The optimal thickness of an IGZO film simultaneously obtaining a small Delta V-th, near-zero Vth, and sharp sub-threshold swing is about 80-90 nm, thicker than those usually adopted. The self-passivation effect combined with the externally deposited passivation layer can improve the overall device reliability.

    p-type SnO thin-film transistors (TFTs) using a nominally symmetrical double-gated (DG) structure were studied in this letter. The top and bottom gates can be biased independently (single-gated mode) or jointly to switch the device (DG mode). For the latter operation, it is shown that ON current, subthreshold swing, and OFF-state current of the SnO TFT are all improved as compared with the operations when only one of the two gates is biased. As the device is operated under the DG mode, field-effect mobility of 6.54 cm(2)/V-s, high ON/OFF current ratio of >10(5), and subthreshold swing of 143 mV/decade are obtained. Moreover, the capability of the device in tuning its transfer characteristics under the single-gated operation with the bias applied to the opposite gate is also confirmed.

    We propose and demonstrate a method which combines film profile engineering (FPE) and a procedure of forming self-aligned bottom gates (SABGs) to fabricate InGaZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs). In the scheme, an ingenious etching procedure was implemented to form the final bottom gate self-aligned to the upper hardmask structure. The fabricated SABG devices show greatly reduced OFF-state leakage as compared with nonself-aligned ones, attributing to the reduction of gate-to-source/drain overlap areas which lowers both parasitic capacitance and gate leakage current. These merits benefit the operation of circuits consisted of TFTs implemented with FPE.

    Root cause for the anomalous degradation in the ON-current of film-profile-engineered ZnO thin-film transistors with discrete bottom gates, a new scheme proposed in our previous work, is investigated. Our findings indicate that the deposited source/drain (S/D) metal contact pads are disconnected owing to two TiN wires hung over the S/D regions, which are unintentionally formed during the fabrication of devices. The disconnected S/D metal contacts cause an increase in the S/D series resistance, and thus, the ON-current is degraded. Several ways for addressing this issue are proposed in this letter, including the simple thinning of gate electrode. As the undesirable TiN wires are eliminated, the devices demonstrate enhanced field-effect mobility and uniformity in performance.

    The passivation effects of pure N-2 plasma on polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin-film transistors (TFTs) have been studied and compared with those of NH3 plasma. We found that, similar to the recently-proposed NH3 plasma passivation, N-2 plasma passivation can also effectively improve device parameters such as field effect mobility, threshold voltage subthreshold swing, off current, and on/off current ratio. While the improvement of NH3-passivated devices can be attributed to both hydrogen and nitrogen passivation effects, nitrogen passivation alone is mainly responsible for the improvement of N-2-passivated devices. Zn addition, we round that N-2-passivated devices exhibit much better hot-carrier reliability than NH3-passivated devices. The better hot-carrier reliability of N-2-passivated devices can be explained by the formation of strong Si-N bonds which are difficult to break, while effectively eliminating the weaker N-H bonds, which are inevitable in NH3-passivated devices. The results of a Fourier. transform infrared (FTIR) spectrum analysis performed in this study are consistent with this proposition.

    A planar inductive discharge is used to hydrogenate polysilicon thin-film transistors (poly-Si TFT's). Experimental results indicate that inductive discharges operate at higher plasma densities, thereby capable of shortening the hydrogenation time. In addition, to promote the ionization of hydrogen, Ar gas is also introduced to H-2 plasma during hydrogenation. Furthermore, me discuss the mechanism of Ar enhanced hydrogenation and the characteristics of H-2/Ar mixed plasma. Moreover, the posthydrogenation anneal is utilized to further enhance passivation efficiency and improve the reliability of poly-Si TFT's.
