Yttrium zinc tin oxide high voltage thin film transistors

Danick Briand, Herbert Shea, Alexis Pierre Henri Marette

We demonstrate that doping the semiconductor zinc tin oxide (ZTO) with yttrium leads to a high-voltage thin film transistor (HVTFT) with enhanced switching performance. Adding 5% yttrium leads to an increase in the on-off ratio from 40 to 1000 at an operat ...
