Abstract
We investigated the impact of Ti doping in the Sm2O3 dielectric on the electrical stress-induced instability in amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs). With increasing stress time in a-IGZO TFT devices, a small initial positive shift followed by a negative shift of threshold voltage is characterized in the Sm2O3 dielectric, whereas only positive shift of threshold voltage is observed for Ti-doped Sm2O3 dielectric. The positive shift of the threshold voltage can be explained by charge trapping in the Sm2O3 film and/or the Sm2O3/IGZO interfaces, while the negative shift of threshold voltage is probably due to the extra charges from the IGZO channel by self-heating effect.
