Stability of negative bias temperature stress (NBTS) nitrogen doped amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin-film transistor (TFT) is investigated. Undoped a-IGZO TFT stressed at 333 K exhibit a larger ΔVTH (−3.21 V) with an unpredictable sub-threshold swing (SS) hump shaped transfer curve due to the creation meta-stable traps. Defects related formation has disappeared small (−1.13 and ΔSS (0.018 V/dec) in TFT. It observed that doping enhances device stability by well controlled oxygen vacancy trap...

Effect of short-channel induced instabilities in InSnZnO-based thin-film transistors (TFTs) caused by combination the drain barrier lowering (DIBL) and parasitic resistance is reported. As active channel length decreased below a critical value around 8 μm, draincurrent (2.81 μA) are abruptly increased N-shaped behavior transconductance observed due to formation additional current path channel. The magnitude subgap density states also depended on size. higher RSD (~42 kg) DIBL coefficient...

Abstract Double stack antireflection coatings have significant advantages over single-layer due to their broad-range coverage of the solar spectrum. A cell with 60-nm/20-nm SiN X :H double has 17.8% efficiency, while that a 80-nm single coating 17.2% efficiency. The improvement efficiency is effect better passivation and coating. It important films strong resistance against stress factors since they are used as antireflective for cells. However, tolerance external stresses never been...

We have investigated the effect of nitrogen doping on behavior hysteresis curve and its suppression temperature instability in amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs). The situ reduced induced abnormal sub threshold leakage current traps generation. Large falling-rate (FR) ∼ 0.26 eV V−1, low activation energy (Ea) 0.617 a small compared to pure a-IGZO TFTs, shows best immunity thermal instability. This is mainly attributed reduction interface trap density oxygen vacancies due...
