  • Abstract
    We fabricated lanthanum indium zinc oxide (IZO) (La-IZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) using radio frequency cosputtering of IZO and lanthanum. The field-effect mobility and switching ratio of the La-IZO TFTs were 4.2 cm2·V-1·s-1 and on the order of 108, respectively, before thermal annealing and 3.02 cm2·V-1·s-1 and on the order of 1010, respectively, after thermal annealing at 150°C in air. Our La-IZO TFTs had better thermal stability than pure-IZO TFTs due to the stable ionic bond between La and O.
