摘要
We investigated the electrical properties of zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films deposited via atomic layer deposition and compared them to ZnO and SnO2 films as a function of the annealing temperature. The ZTO and ZnO, except for SnO2, films exhibited an electrical transition from a metal to semiconductor characteristics when annealed above 300 degrees C. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analyses indicate that the relative area of the oxygen vacancy-related peak decreased from 58% to 41% when annealing at temperatures above 400 degrees C. Thin film transistors incorporating ZTO active layers demonstrated a mobility of 13.2 cm(2)/V s and a negative bias instability of -0.2 V. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
