    Abstract:
    ZnO-based oxide films are emerging as high-performance semiconductors for field-effect transistors (FETs) in optoelectronics. Carrier mobility and stability in these FETs are improved by introducing indium (In) and gallium (Ga) cations, respectively. However, the strong trade-off between the mobility and stability, which come from In or Ga incorporation, still limits the widespread use of metal oxide FETs in ultrahigh pixel density and device area-independent flat panel applications. We demonstrated that the incorporation of antimony (Sb) cations in amorphous zinc indium oxide (ZIO) simultaneously enhanced the field-effect mobility (μFET) and electrical stability of the resulting Sb-doped ZIO FETs. The rationale for the unexpected synergic effect was related to the unique electron configuration of Sb5+ ([Kr]4d105s05p0). However, the benefit of Sb doping was not observed in the zinc tin oxide (ZTO) system. All the Sb-doped ZTO FETs suffered from a reduction in μFET and a deterioration of gate bias stress stability with an increase in Sb loading. This can be attributed to the formation of heterogeneous defects due to Sb-induced phase separation and the creation of Sb3+ induced acceptor-like trap states.
