采用溶液法制备了铟锌锡氧化物(indium-zinc-tin-oxide, IZTO)有源层薄膜和铪铝氧化物(hafnium-aluminum oxide, HAO)绝缘层薄膜, 并成功应用于背沟道刻蚀结构(back-channel etched, BCE)IZTO薄膜晶体管(thin-film transistor, TFT)像素阵列. 利用N2O等离子体表面处理钝化IZTO缺陷态, 提升溶液法像素级IZTO TFT器件性能, 特别是光照负偏压稳定性. 结果表明, 经N2O等离子体处理后, 器件饱和迁移率提升了接近80%, 达到51.52 cm2·V–1·s–1. 特别是3600 s光照负偏压稳定性从–0.3 V提升到–0.1 V, 满足显示驱动的要求. 这进一步说明经N2O等离子体处理后能够得到良好的溶液法像素级IZTO TFT阵列.In this paper, we fabricate a back channel etched structure thin film transistor (TFT) pixel array with hafnium-aluminum oxide dielectric and indium-zinc-tin-oxide (IZTO) semiconductor using a solution process. The electrical characteristics of IZTO TFT are modified by N2O plasma treatment. In comparison with the subthreshold swing and saturation mobility of the device untreated by plasma , the subthreshold swing decreases from 204 to 137 mV·dec–1, and the saturation mobility increases from 29.12 to 51.52 cm2·V–1·s–1. Improvement in the mobility and the subthreshold swing (SS) demonstrate that interface states may be passivated by reactive O radicals that are generated by N2O plasma, which is confirmed by the result of X-ray photoelectron spectrum analysis. In addition, the stability of negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) shift is only 0.1V for 3600 s with an illumination intensity of 10000 lux. This result indicates that its superior stability meets the requirements for the display driver. Therefore, N2O plasma treatment is verified to be an effective method to improve device performance and light stability for IZTO TFT pixel array.
