Abstract

We fabricate InGaZnO thin film transistors (IGZO TFTs) on glass substrates, where sputtering-deposited hafnium oxide (HfO2) films are utilized as the gate dielectric. The influences of Ar/O2 flux ratio (75/25, 80/20, 85/15, and 90/10) of the HfO2 films on properties of the IGZO TFTs are investigated. The 85/15 IGZO TFTs show the best performance among all the devices, which manifests as a field-effect mobility of 4.79 cm2V-1s-1, a saturation mobility of 6.81 cm2V-1s-1, an on-To-off current ratio over 106, and a sub-Threshold swing of 156.15 mV/decade. By exploring material components, we found that the 85/15 HfO2 film has the least oxygen defects, thus resulting in more ideal stoichiometry and device performance. This work confirms the huge potential of sputtering-deposited HfO2 films to be the high-? dielectric of the IGZO TFTs.
