Abstract

We report on the structural and electrical properties of amorphous Yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin films which are the potential high-k gate dielectric material of organic thin film transistor (OTFT). To investigate the influence of the oxygen flow rate on the structural and electrical properties of the YSZ films, XRD, XPS, J-E, I-V were carried out in this work. Oxygen vacancies are expected to be the most predominant type of defect in metal-oxide dielectrics. The leakage current density decreased mainly because of the reduction of oxygen vacancies with increasing oxygen flow rate.
