Abstract

We have fabricated ZnO based-transparent thin film transistor (TFT) structures on glass using pulsed laser deposition. Given the wide bandgap, an FET device based on ZnO would be transparent to visible light. Low leakage current density is realized through the gate using amorphous (CeTb)MgAl 11O 19 (CTMA) as the gate oxide. The dielectric strength is > 5 MV/cm. Based on the temperature and field dependence of the I-V characteristics, the leakage current is controlled by Schottky emission. Capacitance-voltage properties are measured after formation of metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) structures, indicating that ZnO is n-type semiconducting material with little hysteresis when the gate voltage is swept. Current-voltage measurements of source/drain current shows modulation of channel conductance. Device structures with different thicknesses were investigated.
