摘要：
A bottom-gate thin-film transistor (TFT) with hydrogen-doped polycrystalline indium oxide (poly-InOx:H) channel was fabricated to investigate the uniformity and reliability of the TFT. The carrier density (N-e) of the poly-InOx:H film markedly decreased after solid-phase crystallization in air at 300 degrees C, and a nondegenerate poly-InOx:H film with N-e of 1.7 x 10(17) cm(-3) could be achieved. The TFT with a 30-nm-thick poly-InOx:H channel operated in enhancement mode (E-mode) after post-fabrication annealing at more than 300 degrees C. The poly-InOx:H TFT exhibited good short-range uniformities with a field-effect mobility (mu(FE)) of 32.0 +/- 0.39 (3 sigma) cm(2)/Vs and a threshold voltage (V-t) of 0.58 +/- 0.18 (3 sigma) V. Furthermore, no threshold voltage shift was observed under negative gate bias and temperature stress at 60 degrees C for 6,000 s.
