Abstract:
Low temperature poly-crystalline silicon thin-film transistors (LTPS-TFTs) and indium-gallium-zinc-oxide TFTs (IGZO-TFTs) are potential candidates for future technology of various displays. Due to its simple manufacturing process, low cost and good uniformity, IGZO-TFTs have been developed
as main stream display technology. From the viewpoint of device electrical characteristics, a-IGZO TFTs have better field-effect mobility ( 〉 10 cm 2 /V * s), larger I on / I off ratio ( 〉 10 6 ), smaller subthreshold swing (S.S) and good
stability. In this study, atmospheric-pressure PECVD (AP-PECVD) is used to deposit a-IGZO active layer, during the deposition process In-Situ hydrogenation is applied to enhance the layer characteristics. Also, the layer is then surface oxidation treated by neutral beam system (NBS).
The optimal TFTs device characteristics is reached with In-Situ hydrogenation of H 2 90 sccm, and surface oxidation of 400 W NBS treatment. The field-effect mobility is 34.05 cm 2 /V * s, threshold voltage is 1.74 V, subthreshold swing is 62 mV/decade, and current
ratio I on / I off is 2.04×10 7 . Compared with conventional plasma, NBS used in this study provides charge-free plasma which could enhance device electric characteristics.
