Effects of Channel Width on The Electrical Properties of ZnO-based Thin Film Transistor
ZnO-based thin film transistors (ZnO-TFTs) with RF-sputtered ZnO active layer were fabricated at room temperature
and then annealed at 350℃ for 1 h in the air environment. Effects of channel width on the electrical properties of ZnO-TFTs were investigated. The threshold voltage increases with the decrease of the channel width
that is because the more narrower the channel width is
the more greater probability of carriers is captured
the less free carriers are under the same gate voltage
so that the more greater the threshold voltage is. The saturation carrier mobility also increases with the decrease of the channel width
due to the side wall effect associated with source/drain resistance as well as the fringing electronic-field effects which led to an additional current flow beyond the device edges.
