Oxide semiconductors based thin film transistors (TFTs) have received immense interest due to their high mobility (µFE), large area uniformity, and low leakage current. Bottom-gate oxide TFTs exhibit large parasitic capacitances in the gate and source/drain (S/D) regions. The top gate self-aligned (TG-SA) TFT structure is prominent to reduce the parasitic capacitance. This presentation focuses on the reliability of TG-SA poly-InOx:H TFT.
The 30-nm InOx:H films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering and annealed at 300°C for crystallization, as show in Fig.1 of fabrication steps. Next, a 140-nm SiO2 layer was deposited at 300°C as gate insulator (GI) by inductively coupled plasma chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). Then, a 150 nm thick Al–Nd–Ti alloy was deposited as a gate electrode. B+ ions were implanted through the GI to form S/D regions. Subsequently, a SiNx/SiO2 stacked film was deposited for an inter-layer dielectric by ICP-CVD. The S/D electrodes were formed by Mo/Al/Mo. Figure 2 shows the transfer characteristics of the TG-SA poly-InOx:H TFT. The as-fabricated TFT shows the depletion-mode characteristics. After applying the post fabrication annealing at 200°C, the TFT operated in an enhancement-mode with values of Vth and µFE are 0.23 V and 29.18 cm2/Vs, respectively. Figure 3 shows the changes in transfer characteristics under NBTS with a gate voltage of -15 V and grounded source and drain electrodes at a stress temperature of 60°C for 6,000 s. Poly-InOx:H TFT exhibited excellent stability under NBTS with no change of the Vth. The reliability of TG-SA Poly-InOx:H TFTs will also be discussed.
