Effect of Alumina Buffers on the Stability of Top-Gate Amorphous InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistors on Flexible Substrates
Abstract
Flexible top-gate amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors are fabricated on polyimide substrates. The effect of the alumina buffer layers on the device performance and stability is demonstrated using two types of atomic layer deposition reactant sources: 1) ozone and 2) water. Alumina buffers formed by water reactants have better barrier properties against the ambient than those formed by ozone. Furthermore, less charge trapping at sub-gap density-of-states occurs with higher film density of the buffer layer. Stability characteristics under negative bias temperature stress are enhanced by optimization of the buffer layer formation on flexible substrates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
