We propose an effective process for the enhancement of electrical performance in solution-processed SnO2-based oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) by adding a ZrO2layer on the active layer. The ZrO2layer was spin coated on the SnO2film with a single coating and double coating process under the same condition. The SnO2 TFTs with double-coated ZrO2 layers showed a saturation mobility of 51.2 cm2/Vs, which was more than four times higher than that of conventional SnO2 TFTs. Furthermore, the subthreshold slope reduced from 1.17 V /decade to 0.36 V /decade for SnO2 TFTs with double-coated ZrO2 layers. These results are attributed to the electron transfer based on the theory of electron donation from high-k dielectrics to oxide semiconductors.
我们提出了一种有效的方法,通过在有源层上添加zro2层来提高溶液处理sno2基氧化物薄膜晶体管(TFTs)的电性能。在相同的条件下,采用单涂层和双涂层两种工艺将zro2层自旋涂覆在sno2薄膜上。采用ZrO2双层涂层的SnO2 tft的饱和迁移率为51.2 cm2/Vs,是传统SnO2 tft的4倍以上。此外,对于双ZrO2涂层的SnO2 tft,亚阈值斜率从1.17 V /decade降低到0.36 V /decade。这些结果归因于基于高k介电体给电子理论的电子转移到氧化物半导体。

Recently, we have found that the microvoid size in a-Si:H, determined via positron annihilation lifetime spectroscopy (PALS), is systematically correlated with the optical constant, the peak value of ε2;ε2peak, obtained from spectroscopic ellipsometry. This indicates a possibility to establish a novel characterization method that allows the average size and density of microvoid to be estimated readily via spectroscopic ellipsometry. In this presentation, we demonstrate a new finding that the microvoid size and the ε2peak of a-Si:H films deposited under different conditions, even including the sort of apparatus, are on an identical curve if a-Si:H films are prepared without doping.

Artificial neural networks are infomation processing models of human brains. Especially, hardware neural networks have functions such as robustness, parallel distributed processing, and low power consumption. We think hardware neural networks are superior to software neural networks. However, hardware neural networks need high integration. Therefore, we propose a neural network using a LSI and IGZO thin films. We used current value as the synaptic bond strength. It is found that current value of synapses using IGZO thin films gradually decreased as time gose by. The neural networks succeeded in letter recgnition.

This work proposes a novel hydrogenated amorphous silicon thin-film transistor (a-Si:H TFT) gate driver circuit with a bootstrapping structure to shorten the falling time of output waveforms. The driving capability of the proposed circuit is improved without increasing the aspect ratio of driving TFT owing to the enlarged gate voltages by bootstrapping structure. The falling time of output waveforms is reduced by 20% compared to that of conventional gate driver circuit.

A voltage-programming pixel circuit for AMOLED display on the basis of a-IGZO TFTs is proposed. A diode-connected structure of the driving TFT is used to compensate the variations in threshold voltage (VTH) and mobility to reduce the current error rate (CER). The proposed circuit requires only two types of controlling lines. The simulation results show that the CERs are decreased to 5.8% for mobility variations of ±30%, and 11.6% for VTH variation of ±0.4V.

We have verified that nano-cystalline silicon(nc-Si) and InGaZnO(IGZO) based Non Volatile Memory Thin Film Transistor(NVM-TFT) can be fabricated by effectively generating protons at room temperature(RT) in gate insulator(SiO2) with our developed Neutral Beam Assist System(NBAS). We also confirmed that the amount of protons can be controlled by measuring the memory window of the memory device. The device will be on display for next-generation wearable device displays. It will be applied to capacitor free OLED pixel circuit design, which will give many advantages such as low power, higher aperture ratio, and circuit simplification.

We report a newly developed solution-processed amorphous oxide semiconductor, gallium-tin-oxide (GTO), for the active layer of thin-film transistors (TFTs). The transparent GTO thin film was fabricated by sol-gel process and patterned by photo-lithography into isolated arrays. The resulting TFTs exhibit a threshold voltage around zero-volgate, an on-off ratio as 106, and the field-effect mobility as 4.1 cm2/Vs. The electrical properties is readily higher than that of ZnO and comparable to solution-processed InGaZnO. Moreover, the un-capsulated TFTs exhibit better stablility in gate-bias stressing then solution-processed IGZO TFTs as measured in ambient conditions. The study may provide a new choice for the active layers for oxide-based TFTs and display technology.

We report that ultraviolet (UV) ozone post-annealing improves the performance of SnO2 thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated by the sol-gel method at a low temperature of 300 °C. The SnO2 TFT treated with UV ozone post-annealing (two times) shows a field-effect mobility of 0.11 cm2/Vs, which is more than 40 times higher than the field-effect mobility of SnO2 TFTs without UV ozone treatment. Further, the on/off current ratio and subthreshold swing improved to 1.83×105 and 2.09 V/dec, respectively.
