Popis: We propose a modified conductance method for extraction of the subgap density of states (DOS) in amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide thin-film transistors by using the measured capacitance and conductance through the capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement. In the proposed method, the subgap DOS [gA(E)] is extracted from the frequency-dispersive C-V characteristics by localized traps in the active channel region. The extracted gA(E) shows a superposition of the exponential tail states and the exponential deep states over the bandgap (NTA = 3 × 1018 cm-3 · eV-1, NDA = 2.8 × 1017 cm-3 · eV-1, kTTA = 0.04 eV, and kTDA = 0.77 eV). We note that the gate-bias-dependent Cfree by free electron charges can be separated from Cloc by localized trap charges through the proposed method.
