Abstract

The effects of different annealing atmospheres on the chemical surface structure of HfO2 gate dielectric layers have been evaluated in terms of the improvement in the transconductance (gm), current on/off ratio (Ion/Ioff), and carrier mobility (μe) of a back-gated ZnO nanowire field-effect transistor (FET). Compared to O 2 and N2 annealed HfO2-gated transistors, the H2 annealed HfO2-gated ZnO nanowire FET exhibited a higher transconductance of 1.77 × 10-7AV-1, on/off current ratio of ∼1.2 × 104, and electron mobility of 11.90cm 2V-1s-1.
