Abstract
We present a dual active layer structure composed of indium–zinc oxide (InZnO) and indium–magnesium–zinc oxide (InMgZnO), which is fabricated using a simple solution process. By utilizing a heterojunction structure, combined with the high mobility of the front channel (InZnO) and the low <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">${\textsc{off}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> -state current of the back channel (InMgZnO), we are able to achieve thin-film transistor (TFT) devices with enhanced performance and greater stability. Finally, we are able to optimize the device by optimizing the front channel thickness and treating the heterojunction interface with oxygen plasma, achieving a mobility ( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\mu_{\text{sat}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> ) of 5.94 cm <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^\text{2}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> /( <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\text{V}\cdot \text{s}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> ), a threshold voltage of 0.98 V, an <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">I</i> <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{\biosub{on}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> / <italic xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">I</i> <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$_{\biosub{off}}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> ratio of 7.49 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$\times$</tex-math> </inline-formula> 10 <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$^\text{8}$</tex-math> </inline-formula> , and a subthreshold swing (SS) of 325 mV/decade. Furthermore, the device maintains almost unchanged hysteresis voltage and exhibits high bias stability, which is demonstrated by the minimal threshold voltage variation of only 0.27 and <inline-formula xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink"> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$-$</tex-math> </inline-formula> 0.21 V under positive gate bias (PBS) and negative gate bias (NBS) for 1 h, respectively. The high electrical performance and stability of heterojunction TFTs can be attributed to the reduced interfacial defect state achieved through oxygen plasma treatment, as well as the electron redistribution occurring at the heterojunction interface.
