Abstract

Abstract In this paper, we report the annealing effects on the micro-structure and the electrical properties of sol–gel-derived Y 2 O 3 thin films and further impact on the InZnO thin film transistors (IZO TFTs). The Y 2 O 3 thin films annealed at 400 °C showed a low current density of ~10 −8 A/cm 2 at an applied voltage of 1 V. A relative high capacitance density of 345.7 nF/cm 2 , measured at 1 kHz, was obtained for same Y 2 O 3 capacitor. Based on its potential as the dielectric layer, IZO TFTs exhibited a high field effect mobility of 20.93 cm 2 /Vs, an acceptable subthreshold swing of 0.67 V/decade, and a reasonable I on /I off ratio of 1.2×10 6 . Our results demonstrate that solution-processed Y 2 O 3 thin film is a promising gate dielectric candidate for high-performance oxide TFT.
