研究目的
To investigate the application of Zinc-Tin-Oxide (ZTO) thin films fabricated using a simple and eco-friendly sol-gel method in thin film transistors (TFTs) and their dependence on annealing temperature.
研究成果
Indium-free ZTO TFTs fabricated via an environmentally-friendly solution process exhibit high performance, including high carrier mobility and optical transparency, making them suitable for low-cost, high-performance oxide TFT devices. The optimal annealing temperature was found to be 500 (cid:1), balancing electrical performance and stability.
研究不足
The study focuses on the influence of annealing temperature on ZTO thin films and TFTs performance, but does not explore other potential variables such as precursor concentration or spin-coating parameters in depth.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed a sol-gel method for fabricating ZTO thin films, focusing on the influence of annealing temperature on their structure and electrical properties.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
ZTO precursor solutions were prepared using SnCl2 and ZnCl2 as tin and zinc precursors, respectively, with ethanol as the solvent.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment included a thermogravimetric analyzer (TG, Q600 analyzer), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) with Rigaku D/MAX-2500, UV-vis spectrophotometer (UV-2550, SHIMADZU), HITACHI S4800 Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), VEECO Dimension 3100 Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) system, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscope (XPS) with an Al Ka X-ray source and a K-Alpha spectrometer.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
ZTO precursor solutions were spin-coated on Si/SiO2 substrates, preheated, and annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 (cid:1) to 600 (cid:1). Al source and drain electrodes were then deposited by thermal evaporator.
5:1). Al source and drain electrodes were then deposited by thermal evaporator. Data Analysis Methods:
5. Data Analysis Methods: Electrical characteristics of TFTs were measured at room temperature with two Keithley 2400 analyzers.
