    Abstract:
    Oxygen vacancies are a major factor that controls the electrical characteristics of the amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide transistor (a-IGZO TFT). Oxygen vacancies are affected by the composition ratio of the a-IGZO target and the injected oxygen flow rate. In this study, we fabricated three types of a-IGZO TFTs with different oxygen flow rates and then investigated changes in electrical characteristics. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) was performed to analyze the surface morphology of the a-IGZO films according to the oxygen gas rate. Furthermore, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis was performed to confirm changes in oxygen vacancies of a-IGZO films. The optimized a-IGZO TFT has enhanced electrical characteristics such as carrier mobility (μ) of 12.3 cm2/V·s, on/off ratio of 1.25 × 1010 A/A, subthreshold swing (S.S.) of 3.7 V/dec, and turn-on voltage (Vto) of -3 V. As a result, the optimized a-IGZO TFT has improved electrical characteristics with oxygen vacancies having the highest conductivity.
