Investigation of the evolution of nitrogen defects in flash-lamp-annealed InGaZnO films and their effects on transistor characteristics
In this study, we show the evolution of nitrogen defects during a sol–gel reaction in
flash-lamp-annealed InGaZnO (IGZO) films and their effects on the device characteristics of their
thin-film transistors (TFTs). The flash lamp annealing (FLA) of the IGZO TFT for 16 s helps achieve
a mobility of approximately 7 cm 2 V −1 s −1 . However, further extension of the annealing time
results only in drastic increases in carrier concentration and off-current. The X-ray photoelectron
spectroscopy (XPS) analysis of the N 1s peak unravels the presence of oxygen-vacancy-associated
nitrogen defects and their evolution with annealing time, which is possibly responsible for the
increase in carrier concentration.
