Abstract
A fabrication process for homo-junction bottom-gate (HJBG) amorphous In–Ga–Zn–O (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) is proposed, in which the a-IGZO section as source/drain (S/D) region is induced to a low resistance state by coating a thin metal Al film and then performing a thermal annealing in oxygen, and that as channel region is protected from back etching by depositing and patterning a protective layer. Experimental results show that with a 5 nm Al film and a 200 ºC annealing, the sheet resistance of the S/D a-IGZO is 803 Ω/□ and keeps stable during subsequent thermal treatment. In addition, the annealing generated thin Al2O3 film contributes to improve the thermal stability and ambient atmosphere immunity of the fabricated HJBG TFTs.
