Device stability is one of the key parameters for transistor applications. To improve the stability of Indium oxide (In2O3) after a long-time gate bias, a synthetic solution of hafnium chloride (HfCl4) and indium nitrate (In(NO3)3∙xH2O) reagents were used to obtain 0% to 5-at.% Hf doped In2O3 thin-film transistors. With the increase of Hf doping concentration, oxygen vacancies and residual hydroxyl groups continue to decrease, suppressing the carrier concentration and influencing the trap state density of In2O3. The sub-threshold slope (SS) 0.78 V·dec−1 for the undoped In2O3 transistor in this work is a typical value. When the dopant dose is up to 5-at.%, SS decreases to 0.32 V·dec−1. According to the proportional relationship between SS and the density of trap states, it shows that the density of trap states in the dielectric layer and the semiconductor/dielectric interface SS is greatly reduced after 5-at.% Hf doping. The probability of the charge being trapped is dropped as well. At the same time, under the doping of Hf, the transistor exhibits a very small threshold voltage shift. Especially at the dopant dose of 5-at.%, the transfer characteristic curve hardly shifts. This work demonstrates an In2O3 transistor with high bias stability by doping method.

Hf掺杂调制氧化铟薄膜晶体管的高偏置稳定性

器件稳定性是晶体管应用的关键参数之一。为了提高氧化铟(In 2 O 3 )在长时间栅极偏压后的稳定性,使用氯化铪(HfCl 4 )和硝酸铟(In(NO 3 ) 3 ∙xH 2 O)试剂的合成溶液获得0%至5at.%Hf掺杂的In 2 O 3薄膜晶体管。随着Hf掺杂浓度的增加,氧空位和残留羟基不断减少,抑制了载流子浓度,影响了In 2 O 3的陷阱态密度。本工作中未掺杂In 2 O 3晶体管的亚阈值斜率(SS) 0.78 V·dec -1是典型值。当掺杂剂剂量达到5-at.%时,SS降低至0.32V·dec -1 根据SS与陷阱态密度的比例关系可知,经过5-at.% Hf掺杂后,介质层和半导体/介质界面SS中的陷阱态密度大大降低。电荷被俘获的概率也下降了。同时,在Hf掺杂下,晶体管表现出非常小的阈值电压漂移。特别是在掺杂剂量为 5-at.% 时,传输特性曲线几乎没有移动。这项工作展示了通过掺杂方法具有高偏置稳定性的In 2 O 3晶体管。
