研究目的
To demonstrate high-mobility inkjet-printed indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) using a solution-processed Sr-doped Al2O3 (SAO) gate dielectric, enhancing electrical properties and reducing operating voltage.
研究成果
The use of a linear-type inkjet printing pattern and solution-processed SAO gate dielectric significantly improved the electrical properties of IGZO TFTs, achieving high field-effect mobility (30.7 cm2/Vs), low subthreshold slope (0.14 V/decade), and reduced trap density (8.4 × 1011/cm2·eV), enabling low-voltage operation and enhanced performance for applications in displays and electronics.
研究不足
The study used specific precursor concentrations and annealing conditions; variations might affect performance. The linear-type pattern reduced coffee-ring effects but may not eliminate them entirely. The SAO dielectric's properties (e.g., dielectric constant ~7) were fixed; other dopants or thicknesses could be explored for optimization.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved fabricating IGZO TFTs using inkjet printing for the channel layer and solution processing for the SAO gate dielectric. A linear-type printing pattern was adopted to form a thin and uniform IGZO channel, compared to dot array patterns (4×4 and 5×5). The SAO dielectric was used to improve subthreshold characteristics and enable low-voltage operation.

3. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials: Equipment included an inkjet printing system (DMP-2850, Fujifilm), semiconductor parameter analyzer (4155C, Agilent), confocal microscope (VK-9710, Keyence), stylus profiler (DektakXT, Bruker), and thermal evaporation for Al electrodes. Materials included metallic precursors (Sigma-Aldrich), solvents, and substrates.
8:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Substrates were cleaned, IGZO was inkjet-printed with various patterns (linear-type and dot arrays), annealed at 350°C, Al S/D electrodes were deposited via thermal evaporation using a shadow mask, and SAO dielectric was spin-coated and annealed. Electrical characteristics were measured.
9:Data Analysis Methods:
Field-effect mobility, subthreshold slope (SS), and total trap density of states (Nt) were extracted from transfer characteristics using standard equations for TFTs.
