Abstract

The effects of post-thermal annealing on the stability of Ga 2O3-In2O3-ZnO (GIZO) thin film transistors (TFT) were investigated by comparing the GIZO TFTs annealed for 3 hour and for 65 hours under high-field bias stress, light illumination, and long-term storage in air. We found that the poor stability of the GIZO TFTs under these stresses was remarkably improved after 65 hours' post-thermal annealing at 250 °C. The improvement of the stability is ascribed to the reduction of the trap sites in the GIZO layer and curing of weak atomic bonds otherwise susceptible to breaking during the stress.
