Abstract
Aqueous ammonia is used as the new additive to the H2O2-based etchant for back-channel-etch (BCE) amorphous Indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) to pattern Mo source/drain. The Mo residue after being etched by H2O2:NH3·H2O is removed completely by adjusting the PH value to above 7. The BCE a-IGZO TFTs fabricated with the new solution exhibit excellent performances with the field effect mobility of 12.26 cm2V-1s-1, threshold voltage of 0.17 V and sub-threshold swing of 0.24 V/dec when PH value is 9.8. The threshold voltage shift of the device is less than -0.5 V under gate-bias voltage stress of ±30V for 1hour.
