Abstract

We investigated quenching effects in solution-processed In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO). Improved conductivity and crystallinity degradation occurred in quenched IGZO thin-films because of oxygen vacancy generation in a nominal stoichiometric system via defect formation resulting from temperature variation. The optical bandgap was red-shifted in quenched IGZO thin-films due to fluctuations in ionized impurities, such as In4, Ga3, and Zn2, leading to band tailing. Fourier-transform infrared spectra confirmed that quenching effect by liquid nitrogen treatment resulted only from rapid decrement of temperature because there is no generation of chemical bonds during the soaking.
