Abstract

In this paper, we developed high-κ Yb2O3 and YbTixOy gate dielectrics for an amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (α-IGZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) applications. Compared with the Yb2O3 dielectric, the α-IGZO TFT using the high-κ YbTixOy gate dielectric exhibited better electrical characteristics, such as a high Ion/Ioff ratio of 4.55× 107 , a high field-effect mobility of 26.1 cm2/V-s , a low threshold voltage of 0.53 V, and a low subthreshold swing of 210 mV/decade. These results are probably due to the incorporation of Ti into the Yb2O3 film, resulting in the formation of smooth surface and low density of interface states at the oxide/channel interface. Furthermore, the stability of high-κ Yb2O}3 and YbTixO}y α-IGZO TFTs was investigated under both positive bias stress and negative bias stress conditions.
