Abstract :
This paper presents XPS depth profiling study on the materials used in amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide thin-film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs) having Ti and Mo source/drain (S/D) electrodes. The XPS results suggest that there are some differences between Ti/a-IGZO and Mo/a-IGZO interface regions for the chemical states of the materials. The chemical states of the back-channel surfaces are also found to be different for Ti and Mo.
