Abstract

In this paper, we investigated the effect of various annealing processes on the electrical characteristics of oxide thin film transistors (TFTs). When we annealed the TFT devices before and after source/drain (S/D) process, we could observe the different electrical characteristics of oxide TFTs. When we annealed the TFTs after deposition of transparent indium zinc oxide S/D electrodes, the annealing process decreased the contact resistance but increased the resistivity of S/D electrodes. The field effect mobility, subthreshold slope and threshold voltage of the oxide TFTs annealed before and after S/D process were 5.83 and 4.47 $cm^2$/Vs, 1.20 and 0.82 V/dec, and 3.92 and 8.33 V respectively. To analyze the differences, we measured the contact resistances and the carrier concentrations using transfer length method (TLM) and Hall measurement.
