The optical and electrical properties of the amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistor ($\alpha$-IGZO TFT) were studied. When the $\alpha$-IGZO TFT was illuminated at a wavelength of 660 nm, the off-state drain current slightly increased, while below 550 nm it increased significantly. The $\alpha$-IGZO TFT was found to be extremely sensitive, with deep-level defects at approximately 2.25 eV near the midgap. After UV light illumination, a slight change occurred on the surface of the $\alpha$-IGZO films, such as in terms of the oxygen 1s spectra, resistivity, and carrier concentrations. It is believed that these results will provide information regarding the photo-induced behaviors in the $\alpha$-IGZO films.

This research presents a new field effect transistor (FET) by using liquid crystal gate dielectric with remote gate. The fabrication of thin-film transistors (TFTs) was used Indium tin oxide (ITO) for the source, drain, and gate electrodes, and indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) for the active semiconductor layer. 5CB liquid crystal was used for the gate dielectric material, and the remote gate and active layer were covered with the liquid crystal. The output and transfer characteristics of the LC-gated TFTs were investigated.

We've studied the optical and electrical properties of amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide thin-film transistor (a-IGZO TFT). When the a-IGZO TFT was illuminated at a wavelength of 660 nm, the offstate drain current was slightly increased, while below 550 nm it was increased significantly. The a-IGZO TFT was extremely sensitive, with deep-level defects at approximately 2.25 eV near the midgap.

Thin-film transistors(TFTs) with silicon-zinc-tin-oxide(SiZnSnO, SZTO) channel layer are fabricated by rf sputtering method. Electrical properties were changed by different annealing treatment of dry annealing and wet annealing. This procedure improves electrical property especially, stability of oxide TFT. Improved electrical properties are ascribed to desorption of the negatively charged oxygen species from the surfaces by annealing treatment. The threshold voltage ($V_{th}$) shifted toward positive as increasing Si contents in SZTO system. Because the Si has a lower standard electrode potential (SEP) than that that of Sn, Zn, resulting in the degeneration of the oxygen vacancy ($V_O$). As a result, the Si acts as carrier suppressor and oxygen binder in the SZTO as well as a $V_{th}$ controller, resulting in the enhancement of stability of TFTs.

We investigated the electrical characteristics of amorphous silicon-zinc-tin-oxide (a-SZTO) thin films deposited by RF-magnetron sputtering at room temperature depending on the deposition time. We fabricated a thin film transistor (TFT) with a bottom gate structure and various channel thicknesses. With increasing channel thickness, the threshold voltage shifted negatively from -0.44 V to -2.18 V, the on current ($I_{on}$) and field effect mobility (${\mu}_{FE}$) increased because of increasing carrier concentration. The a-SZTO film was fabricated and analyzed in terms of the contact resistance and channel resistance. In this study, the transmission line method (TLM) was adopted and investigated. With increasing channel thickness, the contact resistance and sheet resistance both decreased.

We report on amorphous thin-film transistors (TFTs) with indium zinc oxide (IZO) channel layers that were fabricated via a solution process. We prepared the IZO semiconductor solution with 0.1 M indium nitrate hydrate and 0.1 M zinc acetate dehydrate as precursor solutions. The solution- processed IZO TFTs showed good performance: a field-effect mobility of $7.29cm^2/Vs$, a threshold voltage of 4.66 V, a subthreshold slope of 0.48 V/dec, and a current on-to-off ratio of $1.62{\times}10^5$. To investigate the static response of our solution-processed IZO TFTs, simple resistor load-type inverters were fabricated by connecting a $2-M{\Omega}$ resistor. Our IZOTFTbased N-MOS inverter performed well at operating voltage, and therefore, isa good candidate for advanced logic circuits and display backplane.

The characteristics of the deposited thin films of the zinc oxide (ZnO) at different oxygen pressures will be elucidated in this work. The resistivity of ZnO thin films were dominated by the carrier concentration under high oxygen pressure conditions while controlled by the carrier mobility at low oxygen ambiences. In addition, we will show the characteristics of the transparent ZnO based thin film transistor (TFT) fabricated at a full room temperature process with gate dielectric of gadolinium oxide ($Gd_2O_3$) thin films.

In recent years, the transparent amorphous oxide thin film transistor represented by indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) has become the first choice of the next generation of integrated circuit control components. This article contributes an overview of IGZO thin-film transistors (TFTs), including their fundamental principles and recent advancements. The paper outlines various TFT structures and places emphasis on the fabrication process of the active layer. The result showed that the size of the active layer including the length-to-width ratio and the width could have a significant effect on the mobility. And the process of TFT could influence the crystal structure of IGZO thin film. Furthermore, the article presents an overview of recent applications of IGZO TFTs, such as their use in display drivers and TFT memories. At last, the future development of IGZO TFT is forecasted in this paper.
