Popis: We have investigated the gate bias stress-induced instability on the electrical properties with different pre-treatments for sol-gel derived amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide thin film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs). The device with illuminating and heating pre-treatments under the positive/negative gate bias stress in vacuum had the smallest threshold voltage shift as the stress duration increased, while the device with oxygen gas pre-treatment exhibited an obvious variation. These electrical instabilities were ascribed to the charge trapping in the gate insulator and the oxygen/water adsorption on the active layer. It indicates that the specific pre-treatment for the a-IGZO film can improve the device stability. It also provides the important information for the subsequent passivation process concerning the pre-treatment of the active layer.
