초록

We studied p-type capacitance characteristics of ZnO thin-film transistors (TFT's), grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We compared two ZnO TFT's: one grown at $450^{\circ}C$ and the other grown at $350^{\circ}C$. ZnO grown at $450^{\circ}C$ showed smooth capacitance profile with electron density of $1.5{\times}10^{20}cm^{-3}$. In contrast, ZnO grown at $350^{\circ}C$ showed a capacitance jump when gate voltage was changed to negative voltages. Current-voltage characteristics measured in the two samples did not show much difference. We explain that the capacitance jump is related to p-type ZnO layer formed at the $SiO_2$ interface. Current-voltage and capacitance-voltage data support that p-type characteristics are observed only when background electron density is very low.
