As Po2 increases from 10% to 30%, it is found that the device shows enhanced bias stress stability with significantly reduced threshold voltage drift under positive gate bias stress. Based on the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement, the concentration of oxygen vacancies （Or） within the a-IGZO layer is suppressed by increasing Po2. Meanwhile, the low-frequency noise analysis indicates that the average trap density near the channel/dielectric interface continuously drops with increasing Po2. Therefore, the improved interface quality with increasing Po2 during the channel layer deposition can be attributed to the reduction of interface Ov-related defects, which agrees with the enhanced bias stress stability of the a-IGZO TFTs.展开更多

In particular, the impact of mobility on compensating performance for the implementation in AMOLED pixel circuits is investigated. Details of the effective mobility modeling using the power law of gate-to-source voltage are provided, and parameters are extracted according to the measured current-to-voltage data of IGZO TFT samples. The investigated AMOLED pixel circuit consists of 4 switching TFTs, 1 driving TFT, and 1 capacitor. A "source-follower" structure is used for the threshold voltage extraction of the driving transistor. A new timing diagram is proposed; thus the current error of the pixel circuit is almost independent of the effective mobility. But, to improve the precision of the threshold voltage extraction of the driving transistor, the mobility is required to be greater than5 cm^2 V^(-1) s^(-1). On the other hand, the optimized storage capacitance is reversely proportional to the effective mobility. Thus, the layout area of the pixel circuit can be decreased from 100 × 100 to 100 × 68 μm2, with the effective mobility increased from 10 to50 cm^2 V^(-1) s^(-1). Therefore, IGZO TFT is a good alternative backplane technology for AMOLED displays, and a higher effective mobility is preferred for high compensation performance and compact layout.展开更多
