Abstract
We studied the transport characteristics of ZnO grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) at temperatures between 200 and 500 °C. The crystal quality, measured by X-ray diffraction, improved as the growth temperature increased. However, the mobility measured in the thin-film transistor (TFT) decreased in films grown at higher temperatures. In our experiments, a ZnO TFT grown at 250 °C showed good electrical characteristics, with a 13 cm2 V-1 s-1 mobility and a 103 on/off ratio. We conclude that hydrogen incorporated during MOCVD growth plays an important role in determining the transistor characteristics. This was supported by results of secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS), where a higher hydrogen concentration was observed in films grown at lower temperatures.
