Popis: High-performance transparent zinc oxide (ZnO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with location-controlled lateral-grain growth were fabricated by hydrothermal method. The ZnO active channel was laterally grown with aluminum-doped ZnO (AZO) seed layer underneath the Ti/Pt film. Compare to the unannealed ZnO TFTs, the annealed devices reveal the high-quality ZnO layer with the compensated structural defects in the channel region after oxygen ambient annealing at 400 °C. Therefore, the superior device performances (i.e. the excellent filed-effect mobility of 9.07 cm 2 /V s, positive threshold voltage of 2.25 V, high on/off current ratio of ∼10 6 , and low gate leakage current of
