摘要
In this letter, we investigated the electrical and reliability characteristics of high-kappa HoTiO3 amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (alpha-IGZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) devices. The alpha-IGZO TFT device incorporating an HoTiO3 dielectric exhibited excellent electrical characteristics in terms of a low threshold voltage of 0.12 V, a high field-effect mobility of 21.4 cm(2)/Vs, a small subthreshold swing of 160 mV/decade, and a high I-ON/I-OFF current ratio of 1.3 x 10(8). These results are attributed to the incorporation of TiOx into the Ho2O3 film forming the smooth surface roughness and thus reducing the oxygen vacancies. Furthermore, the threshold voltage stability of HoTiO3 alpha-IGZO TFT was studied under both positive and negative bias stress conditions.
