摘要: We report an investigation of the effects low-temperature annealing on electrical properties amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy was used to characterize charge carrier concentration, which is related density oxygen vacancies. The field-effect mobility found decrease as a function owing presence band-tail states. By employing transmission line method, we show that contact resistance did not significantly contribute changes in device performance after annealing. In addition, using low-frequency noise analyses, trap decreased by factor 10 following at 120 °C. switching operation and on/off ratio a-IGZO TFTs improved considerably
