Abstract

Metal oxide semiconductor (MOS) based on spray-pyrolysis deposition technique has attracted large attention due to simple and low-cost processibility while preserving their intrinsic optical and electrical characteristics. However, their high process temperature limits practical applications. Here, we demonstrated the nc-ZnO/ZnO field-effect transistors (FETs) via spray-pyrolysis as incorporating ZnO nanocrystalline nanoparticles into typical ZnO precursor. The nc-ZnO/ZnO FETs exhibit good quality of electrical properties. Our experiments reveal that nc-ZnO in active layer enhance electrical characteristics.
