The ultimate aims of display market is transparent or flexible. Researches have been carried out for various applications. It has been possible to reduced the process steps and get good electrical properties for semiconductors with large optical bandgaps. Oxide semiconductors have been established as one of the leading and promising technology for next generation display panels. In this paper, alternative treatment processes have been tried for oxide semiconductors of thin film transistors to increase the electrical properties of the thin film transistors and to investigate the mechanisms. There exist a various oxide semiconductors. Here, we focused on InGaZnO, ZnO and InSnZnO which are commercialized or researched actively.
In this paper, the properties of SnZnO films obtained from solution process with different component fractions were compared. The thermal behavior of the SnZnO solutions showed only a slight change according to the component fraction change. However, the definite changes were revealed at the structural properties of the SnZnO films. With diverse analyses, the origin of the changes was proved to the influence of phase change from SnO2 to ZnO in SnZnO lattice. With the SnO2-phase-dominant SnZnO, the highest field effect mobility and on/off ratio of about 8.6 cm2/Vs and 2 × 108 were achieved, respectively.
