The performance of the IGTO/ITO:N bilayer TFTs is significantly improved compared with single-layer IGTO TFTs, with specific indicators including a field-effect mobility of 32.6 cm2/V<inline-formula> <tex-math>$cdot $ </tex-math></inline-formula>s, a subthreshold swing of 201 mV/dec, a threshold voltage shifts of 0.21 V and −0.45 V under ±10 V gate-bias stress. The results show that the performance enhancement is due to the rational design of the bilayer structure, in which the ITO layer functions as a charge-accumulation layer, providing additional electrons. Meanwhile, N doping effectively reduces the oxygen vacancies, thereby decreasing the interfacial trap density, and ultimately enhancing the performance of single-layer IGTO TFTs. Through X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low-frequency noise analyses, we further confirmed the positive effects of N doping and bilayer structure on reducing the defective states and enhancing the stability of TFTs. Overall, the strategy presented here is effective for preparing high performance oxide TFTs for potential applications in future optoelectronic displays.","PeriodicalId":13210,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Journal of the Electron Devices Society","volume":"13 ","pages":"290-296"},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/stamp/stamp.jsp?tp=&arnumber=10930954","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143726410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The ohmic-gate design of p-GaN HEMT can minimize poole-frenkel (PF) emission thus the flicker noise and current collapse (C.C) can be improved.

The period and width of the metal grating were adjusted at each pixel position according to CRAs, thereby improving the NIR sensitivity at sensor edges. The plasmonically diffracted light with angled chief ray was confined within the pixel photodiode. The photon confinement resulted in a significant improvement in absorption of approximately 37% or more, within an incident angle range of 30 degrees at a NIR wavelength of 940 nm and a silicon thickness of 3 μm.
