Influence of Annealing Temperature on Zinc-Tin-Oxide Thin Film Transistors Prepared by Sol-gel Method
Zinc-tin-oxide (ZTO) thin film transistors (TFTs) were fabricated by sol-gel method. Thermogravimetric and differential thermal analyses (TG-DTAs) were performed to investigate the chemical reactivity in the ZTO solutions. The effects of annealing temperatures on characteristics of ZTO-TFTs were investigated in this paper. With the increasing of annealing temperatures
all samples are amorphous
and surface is uniform. The ZTO thin films annealed at 400℃ and 500℃ are highly transparent (
>
85%) in the visible region. When the annealing temperature increased from 300℃ to 500℃
the threshold voltage of solution-processed ZTO TFTs decreased from 15.85 V to 3.76 V
and the saturation mobility increased from 0.004 cm
