摘要

This dissertation is focused on the development of thin film transistors (TFTs) using oxide materials composed of post-transitional cations with (n-1)d 10ns0 (n≥4). The goal is to achieve high performance oxide-based TFTs fabricated at low processing temperature on either glass or flexible substrates for next generation display applications. In addition, etching mechanism and Ohmic contact formation for oxide heterostructure (ZnO/CuCrO 2) system is demonstrated.;The deposition and characterization of oxide semiconductors (In 2O3-ZnO, and InGaZnO4) using a RF-magnetron sputtering system are studied. The main influence on the resistivity of the films is found to be the oxygen partial pressure in the sputtering ambient. The films remained amorphous and transparent (> 70%) at all process conditions. These films showed good transmittance at suitable conductivity for transistor fabrication.;The electrical characteristics of both top- and bottom-gate type Indium Zinc Oxide (InZnO) and Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (InGaZnO4)-based TFTs are reported. The InZnO films were favorable for depletion-mode TFTs due to their tendency to form oxygen vacancies, while enhancement-mode devices were realized with InGaZnO4 films. The InGaZnO4-based TFTs fabricated on either glass or plastic substrates at low temperature (100°C) exhibit good electrical properties: the saturation mobility of 5--12 cm2.V-1.s-1 and threshold voltage of 0.5--2.5V. The devices are also examined as a function of aging time in order to verify long-term stability in air.;The effect of gate dielectric materials on electrical properties of InGaZnO 4-based TFTs was investigated. The use of SiNx film as a gate dielectric reduces the trap density and the roughness at the channel/gate dielectric interface compared to SiO2 gate dielectric, resulting in an improvement of device parameters by reducing scattering of trapped charges at the interface. The quality of interface is shown to have large effect on TFT performance.;Plasma etching process of ZnO was carried out using a variety of plasma chemistries: CH4/H2-, C2H6/H 2-, Cl2-, IBr-, ICl-, BI3- and BBr3/Ar. High fidelity pattern transfer can be achieved with practical etch rate and very smooth surface in methane-based chemistries, although the sidewall is not completely vertical. Threshold energy as low as 60 +/- 20 eV for all plasma chemistries was achieved, confirming that etching is driven by ion-assisted mechanism over the whole range of ion energy.;Ohmic contacts to p-CuCrO2 are examined using borides (CrB2 and W2B5), nitrides (TaN and ZrN) and a high temperature metal (Ir). These materials are used as a diffusion barrier in Ni/Au based contacts, i.e., Ni/Au/X/Ti/Au metallization scheme, where X is the refractory material. A minimum specific contact resistance of ∼ 5x10 -4 O.cm2 was achieved for the Ir-containing contacts after annealing at temperature of 500--800°C for 60s in O2 ambient. The presence of Ir diffusion barrier increase the thermal stability of the contacts by ∼ 200 °C compared to conventional Ni/Au contacts. By sharp contrast, the use of other refractory materials led to the poorer thermal stability, with the contact resistance increasing sharply above 400°C.
