Book On the Reversible Effects of Bias stress Applied to Amorphous Indium gallium zinc oxide Thin Film Transistors

Download or read book On the Reversible Effects of Bias stress Applied to Amorphous Indium gallium zinc oxide Thin Film Transistors written by Anish Suresh Bharadwaj and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 52 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "The role of amorphous IGZO (Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide) in Thin Film Transistors (TFT) has found its application in emerging display technologies such as active matrix liquid crystal display (LCD) and active matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) due to factors such as high mobility 10-20 cm2/(V.s), low subthreshold swing (~120mV/dec), overall material stability and ease of fabrication. However, prolonged application of gate bias on the TFT results in deterioration of I-V characteristics such as sub-threshold distortion and a distinct shift in threshold voltage. Both positive-bias and negative-bias affects have been investigated. In most cases positive-stress was found to have negligible influence on device characteristics, however a stress induced trap state was evident in certain cases. Negative stress demonstrated a pronounced influence by donor like interface traps, with significant transfer characteristics shift that was reversible over a period of time at room temperature. It was also found that the reversible mechanism to pre-stress conditions was accelerated when samples were subjected to cryogenic temperature (77 K). To improve device performance BG devices were subjected to extended anneals and encapsulated with ALD alumina. These devices were found to have excellent resistance to bias stress. Double gate devices that were subjected to extended anneals and alumina capping revealed similar results with better electrostatics compared to BG devices. The cause and effect of bias stress and its reversible mechanisms on IGZO TFTs has been studied and explained with supporting models."--Abstract.

Book Post Processing Treatment of InGaZnO Thin Film Transistors for Improved Bias illumination Stress Reliability

Download or read book Post Processing Treatment of InGaZnO Thin Film Transistors for Improved Bias illumination Stress Reliability written by Muhammad Ruhul Hasin and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 65 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thesis work mainly examined the stability and reliability issues of amorphous Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors under bias-illumination stress. Amorphous hydrogenated silicon has been the dominating material used in thin film transistors as a channel layer. However with the advent of modern high performance display technologies, it is required to have devices with better current carrying capability and better reproducibility. This brings the idea of new material for channel layer of these devices. Researchers have tried poly silicon materials, organic materials and amorphous mixed oxide materials as a replacement to conventional amorphous silicon layer. Due to its low price and easy manufacturing process, amorphous mixed oxide thin film transistors have become a viable option to replace the conventional ones in order to achieve high performance display circuits. But with new materials emerging, comes the challenge of reliability and stability issues associated with it. Performance measurement under bias stress and bias-illumination stress have been reported previously. This work proposes novel post processing low temperature long time annealing in optimum ambient in order to annihilate or reduce the defects and vacancies associated with amorphous material which lead to the instability or even the failure of the devices. Thin film transistors of a-IGZO has been tested for standalone illumination stress and bias-illumination stress before and after annealing. HP 4155B semiconductor parameter analyzer has been used to stress the devices and measure the output characteristics and transfer characteristics of the devices. Extra attention has been given about the effect of forming gas annealing on a-IGZO thin film. a-IGZO thin film deposited on silicon substrate has been tested for resistivity, mobility and carrier concentration before and after annealing in various ambient. Elastic Recoil Detection has been performed on the films to measure the amount of hydrogen atoms present in the film. Moreover, the circuit parameters of the thin film transistors has been extracted to verify the physical phenomenon responsible for the instability and failure of the devices. Parameters like channel resistance, carrier mobility, power factor has been extracted and variation of these parameters has been observed before and after the stress.

Book Passivation of Amorphous Indium gallium zinc Oxide IGZO Thin film Transistors

Download or read book Passivation of Amorphous Indium gallium zinc Oxide IGZO Thin film Transistors written by Nathaniel Walsh and published by . This book was released on 2014 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Thin-film transistors (TFTs) with channel materials made out of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) and polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) have been extensively investigated. Amorphous silicon continues to dominate the large-format display technology; however newer technologies demand a higher performance TFT which a-Si:H cannot deliver due to its low electron mobility, μn ~ 1 cm2/V*s. Metal-oxide materials such as Indium-Gallium-Zinc Oxide (IGZO) have demonstrated semiconductor properties, and are candidates to replace a Si:H for TFT backplane technologies. This work involves the fabrication and characterization of TFTs utilizing a-IGZO deposited by RF sputtering. An overview of the process details and results from recently fabricated IGZO TFTs following designed experiments are presented, followed by analysis of electrical results. The investigated process variables were the thickness of the IGZO channel material, passivation layer material, and annealing conditions. The use of electron-beam deposited Aluminum oxide (alumina or Al2O3) as back-channel passivation material resulted in improved device stability; however ID VG transfer characteristics revealed the influence of back-channel interface traps. Results indicate that an interaction effect between the annealing condition (time/temperature) and the IGZO thickness on the electrical behavior of alumina-passivated devices may be significant. A device model implementing fixed charge and donor-like interface traps that are consistent with oxygen vacancies (OV) resulted in a reasonable match to measured characteristics. Modified annealing conditions have resulted in a reduction of back-channel interface traps, with levels comparable to devices fabricated without the addition of passivation material."--Abstract.
