Abstract

The interface between SiNx and ZnO was investigated with Near Edge X-ray Absorption Fine Structure (NEXAFS) for ZnO based thin film transistor (TFT) applications. Impurity species were interstitial $N_2$ molecules at the SiNx / ZnO interface. The evolution of $N_2$ is decreased with increasing of anneal temperature.
