Abstract
Herein, solution‐processed indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) thin‐film transistors (TFTs) with a bilayer structure are investigated by embedding an ultrathin layer of indium zinc oxide (IZO) between the gate dielectric and IGZO film. The optimized IGZO/IZO bilayer TFTs exhibit a high field‐effect mobility ( μ FE ) of 8.3 cm 2 V −1 s −1 , and the bias‐stress stability of the bilayer TFTs is greatly improved compared with that of the single‐layer IGZO devices. In addition, temperature‐dependent mobility and V T are investigated to reveal the trap distribution in the bilayer IGZO/IZO and single‐layer IGZO TFTs. Moreover, low‐voltage bilayer TFTs with a high mobility of 10.4 cm 2 V −1 s −1 are demonstrated.
