Transparent electronics has been one of the key terminologies forecasting the ubiquitous technology era. Several researchers have thus extensively developed transparent oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) on glass and plastic substrates although in general high voltage operating devices have been mainly studied considering transparent display drivers. However, low voltage operating oxide TFTs with transparent electrodes are very necessary if we are aiming at logic circuit applications, for which transparent complementary or one-type channel inverters are required. The most effective and low power consuming inverter should be a form of complementary p-channel and n-channel transistors but real application of those complementary TFT inverters also requires electrical- and even photo-stabilities. Since p-type oxide TFTs have not been developed yet, we previously adopted organic pentacene TFTs for the p-channel while ZnO TFTs were chosen for n-channel on sputter-deposited $AlO_x$ film. As a result, decent inverting behavior was achieved but some electrical gate instability was unavoidable at the ZnO/$AlO_x$ channel interface. Here, considering such gate instability issues we have designed a unique transparent complementary TFT (CTFTs) inverter structure with top n-ZnO channel and bottom p-pentacene channel based on 12 nm-thin nano-oxide/self assembled monolayer laminated dielectric, which has a large dielectric strength comparable to that of thin film amorphous $Al_2O_3$. Our transparent CTFT inverter well operate under 3 V, demonstrating a maximum voltage gain of ~20, good electrical and even photoelectric stabilities. The device transmittance was over 60 % and this type of transparent inverter has never been reported, to the best of our limited knowledge.

Bottom gate thin-film transistors were fabricated using solution processed IGZO channel layers with various gallium composition ratios that were annealed on a hot plate. Increasing the gallium ratio from 0.1 to 0.6 induced a threshold voltage shift in the electrical characteristics, whereas the molar ratio of In:Zn was fixed to 1:1. Among the devices, the IGZO-TFTs with gallium ratios of 0.4 and 0.5 exhibited suitable switching characteristics with low off-current and low SS values. The IGZO-TFTs prepared from IGZO films with a gallium ratio of 0.4 showed a mobility, on/off current ratio, threshold voltage, and subthreshold swing value of $0.1135cm^2/V{\cdot}s$, ${\sim}10^6$, 0.8 V, and 0.69 V/dec, respectively. IGZO-TFTs annealed at $300^{\circ}C$, $350^{\circ}C$, and $400^{\circ}C$ were also fabricated. Annealing at lower temperatures induced a positive shift in the threshold voltage and produced inferior electrical properties.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 채널 내 도핑분포함수의 변화에 따른 문턱전압이하 스윙의 변화를 분석하였다. 이중게이트 MOSFET의 특성을 결정하는 가장 기본적인 요소는 채널의 크기 즉, 채널길이, 채널두께 등과 채널의 도핑분포함수이다. 도핑분포는 채널도핑 시 사용하는 이온주입법에 의하여 결정되며 일반적으로 가우스분포함수에 준한다고 알려져 있다. 포아송방정식을 이용하여 전하분포를 구하기 위하여 가우스분포함수을 이용하였다. 가우스분포함수는 반드시 상하 대칭이 아니므로 채널길이 및 채널두께, 그리고 비대칭 이중게이트 MOSFET의 상하단 게이트 전압 변화 등에 따라 문턱전압이하 스윙 값은 크게 변화할 것이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가우스분포함수의 파라미터인 이온주입범위 및 분포편차에 따른 문턱전압이하 스윙의 변화를 관찰하고자 한다. 분석결과, 문턱전압이하 스윙은 도핑분포함수 및 게이트 전압 등에 따라 크게 영향을 받는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다.

In the advanced material for the next generation display device, transparent amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOS) are promising materials as a channel layer in thin film transistor (TFT). The TAOS have many advantages for large-area application compared with hydrogenated amorphous silicon TFT (a-Si:H) and organic semiconductor TFT. For the reasonable characteristics of TAOS, The a-IGZO has the excellent performances such as low temperature fabrication (R.T~), high mobility, visible region transparent, and reasonable on-off ratio. In this study, we investigated how the electric characteristics and physical properties are changed as various oxygen ratio when magnetron sputtering. we analysis a-IGZO film by AFM, EDS and I-V measurement. decreasing the oxygen ratio, the threshold voltage is shifted negatively and mobility is increasing. Through this correlation, we confirm the effect of oxygen ratio. We fabricated the bottom-gate a-IGZO TFTs. The gate insulator, SiO2 film was grown on heavily doped silicon wafer by thermal oxidation method. a-IGZO channel layer was deposited by RF magnetron sputtering. and the annealing condition is $350^{\circ}C$. Electrode were patterned Al deposition through a shadow mask(160/1000 um).

3차원 순차적 집적회로에서 열에 의한 손상으로 생성되는 계면 포획 전하가 트랜지스터의 드레인 전류-게이트 전압 특성에 미치는 영향을 소개한다. 2차원 소자 시뮬레이터를 이용해서 산화막 층에 계면 포획 전자 분포를 추출한 결과를 설명한다. 이 계면 포획 전자분포를 고려한 3차원 순차적 집적회로에서 Inter Layer Dielectric (ILD)의 길이에 따른 하층 트랜지스터의 게이트 전압의 변화에 따라서 상층 트랜지스터의 문턱전압 $V_{th}$의 변화량에 대해서 소개한다. 상대적으로 더 늦은 공정인 상층 $HfO_2$층 보다 하층 $HfO_2$층과 양쪽 $SiO_2$층이 열에 의한 영향을 더 많이 받았다. 계면 포획 전하 밀도 분포를 사용하지 않았을 때 보다 사용 했을 때 $V_{th}$ 변화량이 더 적게 변하는 것을 확인 했다. 3차원 순차적 인버터에서 ILD의 길이가 50nm이하로 짧아질수록 점점 더 $V_{th}$ 변화량이 급격히 증가하였다.

In this research, we evaluated the electrical properties of polycrystalline-gallium-oxIde (Ga₂O₃) thin films grown by mist-CVD. A 500~800 nm-thick Ga₂O₃ film was used as a channel in a fabricated bottom-gate MOSFET device. The phase stability of the β-phase Ga₂O₃ layer was enhanced by an annealing treatment. A Ti/Al metal stack served as source and drain electrodes. Maximum drain current (I_D) exceeded 1 mA at a drain voltage (V_D) of 20 V. Electron mobility of the β-Ga₂O₃ channel was determined from maximum transconductance (g_m), as approximately, 1.39 ㎠/Vs. Reasonable device characteristics were demonstrated, from measurement of drain current-gate voltage, for mist-CVD-grown Ga₂O₃ thin films.

Polycrystalline and epitaxial heterostructure films of $La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}/Pb(Nb_{0.04}Zr_{0.28}Ti_{0.68})O_{3}/La_{0.5}Sr_{0.5}CoO_{3}$ (LSCO/PNZT/LSCO) capacitors were evaluated in terms of low voltage and high speed operation in high density memory, using TiN/Pt conducting barrier combination. Structural studies for a high density ferroelectric memory process flow, which requires the integration of conducting barrier layers to connect the drain of the pass-gate transistor to the bottom electrode of the ferroelectric stack, indicate complete phase purity (i.e. fully perovskite) in both epitaxial and polycrystalline materials. The polycrystalline capacitors show lower remnant polarization and coercive voltages. However, the retention, and high-speed characteristics are similar, indicating minimal influence of crystalline quality on the ferroelectric properties.

Mg-doped zinc tin oxide (ZTO:Mg) thin films were prepared on glasses by rf magnetron sputtering. $O_2$ was introduced into the chamber during the sputtering. The optical properties of the films as a function of oxygen flow rate were studied. The crystal structure, elementary properties, and depth profiles of the films were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), respectively. Bottom-gate transparent thin film transistors were fabricated on $N^+$ Si wafers, and the variation of mobility, threshold voltage etc. with the oxygen flow rate were observed.
