Analog Memory and Synaptic Plasticity in an InGaZnO-Based Memristor by Modifying Intrinsic Oxygen Vacancies. MATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2023; 16:7510. [PMID: 38138652 PMCID: PMC10744634 DOI: 10.3390/ma16247510] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/01/2023] [Revised: 11/26/2023] [Accepted: 11/28/2023] [Indexed: 12/24/2023]
Abstract
This study focuses on InGaZnO-based synaptic devices fabricated using reactive radiofrequency sputtering deposition with highly uniform and reliable multilevel memory states. Electron trapping and trap generation behaviors were examined based on current compliance adjustments and constant voltage stressing on the ITO/InGaZnO/ITO memristor. Using O2 + N2 plasma treatment resulted in stable and consistent cycle-to-cycle memory switching with an average memory window of ~95.3. Multilevel resistance states ranging from 0.68 to 140.7 kΩ were achieved by controlling the VRESET within the range of -1.4 to -1.8 V. The modulation of synaptic weight for short-term plasticity was simulated by applying voltage pulses with increasing amplitudes after the formation of a weak conductive filament. To emulate several synaptic behaviors in InGaZnO-based memristors, variations in the pulse interval were used for paired-pulse facilitation and pulse frequency-dependent spike rate-dependent plasticity. Long-term potentiation and depression are also observed after strong conductive filaments form at higher current compliance in the switching layer. Hence, the ITO/InGaZnO/ITO memristor holds promise for high-performance synaptic device applications.

High-mobility and low subthreshold swing amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors by in situH 2plasma and neutral oxygen beam irradiation treatment. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2023; 34:175202. [PMID: 36696686 DOI: 10.1088/1361-6528/acb5f9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 01/25/2023] [Indexed: 06/17/2023]
Abstract
In this work, staggered bottom-gate structure amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) with high-k ZrO2gate dielectric were fabricated using low-cost atmospheric pressure-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (AP-PECVD) within situhydrogenation to modulate the carrier concentration and improve interface quality. Subsequently, a neutral oxygen beam irradiation (NOBI) technique is applied, demonstrating that a suitable NOBI treatment could successfully enhance electrical characteristics by reducing native defect states and minimize the trap density in the back channel. A reverse retrograde channel (RRGC) with ultra-high/low carrier concentration is also formed to prevent undesired off-state leakage current and achieve a very low subthreshold swing. The resulting a-IGZO TFTs exhibit excellent electrical characteristics, including a low subthreshold swing of 72 mV dec-1and high field-effect mobility of 35 cm2V-1s-1, due to conduction path passivation and stronger carrier confinement in the RRGC. The UV-vis spectroscopy shows optical transmittance above 90% in the visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. The study confirms the H2plasma with NOBI-treated a-IGZO/ZrO2TFT is a promising candidate for transparent electronic device applications.

A Simple Doping Process Achieved by Modifying the Passivation Layer for Self-Aligned Top-Gate In-Ga-Zn-O Thin-Film Transistors at 200 °C. NANOMATERIALS (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 12:4021.

Abstract
In this paper, a facile modifying technique of source/drain regions conductivity was proposed for self-aligned top-gate In-Ga-Zn-O (IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) by controlling the process parameter of the passivation layer at relatively low temperatures. The sheet resistance of the source and drain regions of IGZO was approximately 365 Ω/□, and there was no significant change within a month. The device parameters of mobility, threshold voltage, subthreshold swing, and current switching ratio of the fabricated device were 15.15 cm2V-1s-1, 0.09 V, 0.15 V/dec, and higher than 109, respectively. The threshold voltage drift under negative bias illumination stress was -0.34 V. In addition, a lower channel width-normalized contact resistance of 9.86 Ω·cm was obtained.

Conduction Mechanism Analysis of Abrupt- and Gradual-Switching InGaZnO Memristors. MICROMACHINES 2022; 13:1870.

Abstract
In this work, two types of InGaZnO (IGZO) memristors were fabricated to confirm the conduction mechanism and degradation characteristics of memristors with different electrode materials. The IGZO memristor exhibits abrupt switching characteristics with the Pd electrode owing to the formation and destruction of conductive filaments but shows gradual switching characteristics with the p-type Si electrode according to the amount of generated oxygen vacancy. The electrical characteristics and conduction mechanisms of the device are analyzed using an energy band diagram and experimentally verified with random telegraph noise characteristics confirming the trap effects on the device conduction.

Steep Subthreshold Swing and Enhanced Illumination Stability InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistor by Plasma Oxidation on Silicon Nitride Gate Dielectric. MEMBRANES 2021; 11:membranes11110902. [PMID: 34832130 PMCID: PMC8625031 DOI: 10.3390/membranes11110902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/19/2021] [Revised: 11/10/2021] [Accepted: 11/12/2021] [Indexed: 11/16/2022]
Abstract
In this paper, an InGaZnO thin-film transistor (TFT) based on plasma oxidation of silicon nitride (SiNx) gate dielectric with small subthreshold swing (SS) and enhanced stability under negative bias illumination stress (NBIS) have been investigated in detail. The mechanism of the high-performance InGaZnO TFT with plasma-oxidized SiNx gate dielectric was also explored. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results confirmed that an oxygen-rich layer formed on the surface of the SiNx layer and the amount of oxygen vacancy near the interface between SiNx and InGaZnO layer was suppressed via pre-implanted oxygen on SiNx gate dielectric before deposition of the InGaZnO channel layer. Moreover, the conductance method was employed to directly extract the density of the interface trap (Dit) in InGaZnO TFT to verify the reduction in oxygen vacancy after plasma oxidation. The proposed InGaZnO TFT with plasma oxidation exhibited a field-effect mobility of 16.46 cm2/V·s, threshold voltage (Vth) of −0.10 V, Ion/Ioff over 108, SS of 97 mV/decade, and Vth shift of −0.37 V after NBIS. The plasma oxidation on SiNx gate dielectric provides a novel approach for suppressing the interface trap for high-performance InGaZnO TFT.

Influence of metallization process on solution-processed InGaZnO thin film transistors. NANOTECHNOLOGY 2021; 32:405203.

Abstract
Low-temperature solution-processed InGaZnO (IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) have recently attracted significant attention as the next-generation flexible display TFTs, owing to their high transparency, high electrical performance, low-cost fabrication, and large-area scalability. However, solution-processed amorphous IGZO TFTs have several drawbacks, such as poor film quality or low stability, and have been studied with view to improving the device performance. One of the critical components determining device characteristics is the metallization process, which we systematically studied using aluminum (Al) source and drain electrodes. The electrical properties were measured for different channel lengths and evaluated using the threshold voltage (Vth) and subthreshold swing (SS). Al electrodes directly affect the channel region, enhancing the electron density because of the doping effect from Al and oxygen vacancy-related oxidation of Al and causing an abnormal negative shift ofVth, which is confirmed by the component analysis via various spectroscopies. To understand and improve the TFT characteristics, we conducted a low-temperature post-annealing process and polymer passivation and succeeded in movingVthfrom over 150 V to near 0 V and remarkably improved SS. This study discovered that the influence of source-drain metallization on the channel region determines the device characteristics through the close relation between metal oxidation and the number of oxygen vacancies.

Channel Shape Effects on Device Instability of Amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc Oxide Thin Film Transistors. MICROMACHINES 2020; 12:mi12010002.

Abstract
Channel shape dependency on device instability for amorphous indium–gallium–zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) is investigated by using various channel shape devices along with systematic electrical characterization including DC I-V characeristics and bias temperature stress tests. a-IGZO TFTs with various channel shapes such as zigzag, circular, and U-type channels are implemented and their vertical and lateral electric field stress (E-field) effects are systematically tested and analyzed by using an experimental and modeling study. Source and drain (S/D) electrode asymmetry and vertical E-field effects on device instability are neglibible, whereas the lateral E-field effects significantly affect device instability, particularly for zigzag channel shape, compared to circular and U-type TFTs. Moreover, charge trapping time (τ) for zigzag-type a-IGZO TFTs is extracted as 3.8 × 104, which is at least three-times smaller than those of other channel-type a-IGZO TFTs, hinting that local E-field enhancement can critically affect the device reliability. The Technology Computer Aided Design (TCAD) simulation results reveal the locally enhanced E-field at both corner region in the channel in a quantitative mode and its correlation with hemisphere radius (ρ) values.

Graded Channel Junctionless InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistors with Both High Transporting Properties and Good Bias Stress Stability. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2020; 12:43950-43957.

Abstract
InGaZnO (IGZO) is currently the most prominent oxide semiconductor complement to low-temperature polysilicon for thin-film transistor (TFT) applications in flat panel displays. However, the compromised transport performance and bias stress instability are critical issues inhibiting its application in ultrahigh-resolution optoelectronic displays. Here, we report the fabrication of graded channel junctionless IGZO:O|N TFTs with both high transporting properties and good bias stress stability by systematic manipulation of oxygen vacancy (VO) defects through sequential O antidoping and O/N codoping of the continuous IGZO framework. The transporting properties and bias stress stability of the graded channel IGZO:O|N TFTs, which exhibited high field-effect mobilities close to 100 cm2 V-1 s-1, negligible performance degradations, and trivial threshold voltage shifts against gate bias stress and photobias stress, are simultaneously improved compared to those of the controlled single-channel uniformly doped IGZO:O TFTs, IGZO:N TFTs, and double-channel barrier-confined IGZO:O/IGZO:N TFTs. The synergistic improvements are attributed to the sequential mobility and stability enhancement effects of O antidoping and O/N codoping where triple saturation currents are induced by O antidoping of the front-channel regime while the trapped electrons and photoexcited holes in the back-channel bulk and surface regions are suppressed by O/N codoping. More importantly, fast accumulation and barrier-free full depletion are rationally realized by eliminating the junction interface within the graded channel layer. Our observation identifies that graded channel doping could be a powerful way to synergistically boost up the transport performance and bias stress stability of oxide TFTs for new-generation ultrahigh-definition display applications.

Substantially Improving Device Performance of All-Inorganic Perovskite-Based Phototransistors via Indium Tin Oxide Nanowire Incorporation. SMALL (WEINHEIM AN DER BERGSTRASSE, GERMANY) 2020; 16:e1905609.

Abstract
All-inorganic halide perovskites (IHPs) have attracted enormous attention due to their intrinsically high optical absorption coefficient and superior ambient stabilities. However, the photosensitivity of IHP-based photodetectors is still restricted by their poor conductivities. Here, a facile design of hybrid phototransistors based on the CsPbBr3 thin film and indium tin oxide (ITO) nanowires (NWs) integrated into a InGaZnO channel in order to achieve both high photoresponsivity and fast response is reported. The metallic ITO NWs are employed as electron pumps and expressways to efficiently extract photocarriers from CsPbBr3 and inject electrons into InGaZnO. The obtained device exhibits the outstanding responsivity of 4.9 × 106 A W-1 , which is about 100-fold better than the previous best results of CsPbBr3 -based photodetectors, together with the fast response (0.45/0.55 s), long-term stability (200 h in ambient), and excellent mechanical flexibility. By operating the phototransistor in the depletion regime, an ultrahigh specific detectivity up to 7.6 × 1013 Jones is achieved. More importantly, the optimized spin-coating manufacturing process is highly beneficial for achieving uniform InGaZnO-ITO/perovskite hybrid films for high-performance flexible detector arrays. All these results can not only indicate the potential of these hybrid phototransistors but also provide a valuable insight into the design of hybrid material systems for high-performance photodetection.

High-Performance Transparent Ultraviolet Photodetectors Based on InGaZnO Superlattice Nanowire Arrays. ACS NANO 2019; 13:12042-12051.

Abstract
Due to the efficient photocarrier separation and collection coming from their distinctive band structures, superlattice nanowires (NWs) have great potential as active materials for high-performance optoelectronic devices. In this work, InGaZnO NWs with superlattice structure and controllable stoichiometry are obtained by ambient-pressure chemical vapor deposition. Along the NW axial direction, perfect alternately stacking of InGaO(ZnO)4+ blocks and InO2- layers is observed to form a periodic layered structure. Strikingly, when configured into individual NW photodetectors, the Ga concentration is found to significantly influence the amount of oxygen vacancies and oxygen molecules adsorbed on the NW surface, which dictate the photoconducting properties of the NW channels. Based on the optimized Ga concentration (i.e., In1.8Ga1.8Zn2.4O7), the individual NW device exhibits an excellent responsivity of 1.95 × 105 A/W and external quantum efficiency of as high as 9.28 × 107% together with a rise time of 0.93 s and a decay time of 0.2 s for the ultraviolet (UV) photodetection. Besides, the obtained NWs can be fabricated into large-scale parallel arrays on glass substrates as well to achieve fully transparent UV photodetectors, where the performance is on the same level or even better than many transparent photodetectors with high performance. All the results discussed above demonstrate the great potential of InGaZnO superlattice NWs for next-generation advanced optoelectronic devices.

Exploring the photoleakage current and photoinduced negative bias instability in amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors with various active layer thicknesses.

Abstract
The photoleakage current and the negative bias and illumination stress (NBIS)-induced instability in amorphous InGaZnO thin-film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs) with various active layer thicknesses (T IGZO) were investigated. The photoleakage current was found to gradually increase in a-IGZO TFTs irrespective of the T IGZO when the photon energy of visible light irradiation exceeded ≈2.7 eV. Furthermore, the influence of the T IGZO on NBIS-induced instability in a-IGZO TFTs was explored by the combination of current-voltage measurements in double-sweeping V GS mode and capacitance-voltage measurements. The NBIS-induced hysteresis was quantitatively analyzed using a positive gate pulse mode. When the T IGZO was close to the Debye length, the trapped electrons at the etch-stopper/IGZO interface, the trapped holes at the IGZO/gate insulator interface, and the generation of donor-like states in an a-IGZO layer were especially prominent during NBIS.

Effect of Static and Rotating Magnetic Fields on Low-Temperature Fabrication of InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistors. ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES 2018; 10:16613-16622.

Abstract
We suggest thermal treatment with static magnetic fields (SMFs) or rotating magnetic fields (RMFs) as a new technique for the activation of indium-gallium-zinc oxide thin-film transistors (IGZO TFTs). Magnetic interactions between metal atoms in IGZO films and oxygen atoms in air by SMFs or RMFs can be expected to enhance metal-oxide (M-O) bonds, even at low temperature (150 °C), through attraction of metal and oxygen atoms having their magnetic moments aligned in the same direction. Compared to IGZO TFTs with only thermal treatment at 300 °C, IGZO TFTs under an RMF (1150 rpm) at 150 °C show superior or comparable characteristics: field-effect mobility of 12.68 cm2 V-1 s-1, subthreshold swing of 0.37 V dec-1, and on/off ratio of 1.86 × 108. Although IGZO TFTs under an SMF (0 rpm) can be activated at 150 °C, the electrical performance is further improved in IGZO TFTs under an RMF (1150 rpm). These improvements of IGZO TFTs under an RMF (1150 rpm) are induced by increases in the number of M-O bonds due to enhancement of the magnetic interaction per unit time as the rpm value increases. We suggest that this new process of activating IGZO TFTs at low temperature widens the choice of substrates in flexible or transparent devices.

Drain Current Stress-Induced Instability in Amorphous InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistors with Different Active Layer Thicknesses. MATERIALS 2018; 11:ma11040559.

Abstract
In this study, the initial electrical properties, positive gate bias stress (PBS), and drain current stress (DCS)-induced instabilities of amorphous indium gallium zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with various active layer thicknesses (TIGZO) are investigated. As the TIGZO increased, the turn-on voltage (Von) decreased, while the subthreshold swing slightly increased. Furthermore, the mobility of over 13 cm2·V−1·s−1 and the negligible hysteresis of ~0.5 V are obtained in all of the a-IGZO TFTs, regardless of the TIGZO. The PBS results exhibit that the Von shift is aggravated as the TIGZO decreases. In addition, the DCS-induced instability in the a-IGZO TFTs with various TIGZO values is revealed using current–voltage and capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements. An anomalous hump phenomenon is only observed in the off state of the gate-to-source (Cgs) curve for all of the a-IGZO TFTs. This is due to the impact ionization that occurs near the drain side of the channel and the generated holes that flow towards the source side along the back-channel interface under the lateral electric field, which cause a lowered potential barrier near the source side. As the TIGZO value increased, the hump in the off state of the Cgs curve was gradually weakened.

Abstract
Despite intensive research on improvement in electrical performances of ZnO-based thin-film transistors (TFTs), the instability issues have limited their applications for complementary electronics. Herein, we have investigated the effect of nitrogen and hydrogen (N/H) codoping on the electrical performance and reliability of amorphous InGaZnO (α-IGZO) TFTs. The performance and bias stress stability of α-IGZO device were simultaneously improved by N/H plasma treatment with a high field-effect mobility of 45.3 cm2/(V s) and small shifts of threshold voltage (Vth). On the basis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis, the improved electrical performances of α-IGZO TFT should be attributed to the appropriate amount of N/H codoping, which could not only control the Vth and carrier concentration efficiently, but also passivate the defects such as oxygen vacancy due to the formation of stable Zn-N and N-H bonds. Meanwhile, low-frequency noise analysis indicates that the average trap density near the α-IGZO/SiO2 interface is reduced by the nitrogen and hydrogen plasma treatment. This method could provide a step toward the development of α-IGZO TFTs for potential applications in next-generation high-definition optoelectronic displays.

Abstract
We introduce an amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (a-IGZO) heterostructure phototransistor consisting of solution-based synthetic molybdenum disulfide (few-layered MoS2, with a band gap of ∼1.7 eV) and sputter-deposited a-IGZO (with a band gap of ∼3.0 eV) films as a novel sensing element with a broad spectral responsivity. The MoS2 and a-IGZO films serve as a visible light-absorbing layer and a high mobility channel layer, respectively. Spectroscopic measurements reveal that appropriate band alignment at the heterojunction provides effective transfer of the visible light-induced electrons generated in the few-layered MoS2 film to the underlying a-IGZO channel layer with a high carrier mobility. The photoresponse characteristics of the a-IGZO transistor are extended to cover most of the visible range by forming a heterojunction phototransistor that harnesses a visible light responding MoS2 film with a small band gap prepared through a large-area synthetic route. The MoS2-IGZO heterojunction phototransistors exhibit a photoresponsivity of approximately 1.7 A/W at a wavelength of 520 nm (an optical power of 1 μW) with excellent time-dependent photoresponse dynamics.
