Popis: The device performance of amorphous In–Zn–O ( a -IZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with printed Cu contacts was significantly improved by the insertion of a diffusion barrier Ta layer and rapid thermal process (RTP) annealing. Furnace-annealed a -IZO TFTs with Cu/Ta contacts exhibited mobility values of 21.3 cm 2 /Vs, subthreshold gate swing ( SS ) values of 1.9 V/decade, and I ON / OFF of ~ 10 6 . In contrast, the SS , mobility, and I ON / OFF ratio of RTP-annealed a -IZO TFTs with Cu/Ta contacts were 30.6 cm 2 /Vs, 0.68 V/decade, and 3 × 10 7 , respectively. We attributed the performance improvement of devices with Cu/Ta contacts to the suppression of Cu in-diffusion within the a -IZO channel due to the rapid heating associated with RTP annealing.
