摘要
We studied high-k soluble yttrium oxide dielectrics for high performance oxide thin film transistors (TFTs). The electrical characteristics of yttrium oxide show leakage current density as less than 10(-6) A cm(-2) at 2 MV cm(-1) regardless of annealing temperature and a high dielectric constant of nearly 16. For the first time, all solution-processed fully transparent ZnO-TFTs based on spin-coated YOx gate dielectric layers with a small interfacial trap density and high capacitance were demonstrated, exhibiting a field-effect mobility of 135 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), a threshold voltage of 1.73 V, and an on-off current ratio of 5.7 x 10(7) as well as low-voltage operation. In addition to microstructural and electrical analyses for solution-processed YOx dielectrics, we investigated the influences of dielectric-semiconductor interfacial quality on device parameters. Our results suggest that solution-processable fully transparent oxide TFTs have the potential for low-temperature and high-performance application in transparent, flexible devices.
