Electrical Properties of Si-doped ZnO-based Thin-film Transistor with Dual-active-layer Structure
In order to reduce the off-state leakage current and increase the on/off current ratio in ZnO thin-film transistor (ZnO-TFT)
Si-doped ZnO thin-film transistors (SZO-TFTs) and TFT with SZO/ZnO acted as dual-active-layer were fabricated by magnetron sputtering method. Effects of silicon concentration on optical transmittance of Si-doped ZnO thin film and electrical properties of SZO-TFT were investigated. Moreover
the electrical characteristics of the TFT with SZO/ZnO acted as dual-active-layer were compared with those of the TFTs with ZnO and Si-doped ZnO acted as single-active-layer. The experimental results indicated that
compared with undoped ZnO-TFT
the off-state leakage current of SZO-TFT reduces by more than two orders of magnitude
down to 1.510
-12
A
and the on/off current ratio increases by more than two orders of magnitude with a maximum value up to 7.9710

; The SZO/ZnO dual-active-layer architecture used in the ZnO-based TFT could increase the on/off current ratio by about two orders of magnitude with no reduction in carrier mobility
and thus optimize the performance of the ZnO-based TFT.
