One-dimensional single crystalline InGaO3(ZnO)n (IGZO) nanostructures have great potential for various electrical and optical applications. This paper demonstrates for the first time, to our knowledge, a non-vacuum route for the synthesis of IGZO nanowires by annealing ZnO nanowires covered with solution-based IGZO precursor. This method results in nanowires with highly periodic IGZO superlattice structure. The phase transition of IGZO precursor during thermal treatment was systematically studied. Transmission electron microscopy studies reveal that the formation of the IGZO structure is driven by anisotropic inter-diffusion of In, Ga, and Zn atoms, and also by the crystallization of the IGZO precursor. Optical measurements using cathodoluminescence and UV-vis spectroscopy confirm that the nanowires consist of the IGZO compound with wide optical band gap and suppressed luminescence.

Organic photodetectors (OPDs) are cheaper and more flexible than conventional photodetectors based on inorganic precursors, but their wider commercial application is limited by their low electron extraction efficiency under reverse bias conditions (when operating under photoconductive mode). Zinc oxide (ZnO) has shown promise as an electron transport layer for OPDs owing to its wide band gap, but its electron extraction efficiency has been limited by issues such as photoinstability and the formation of surface detects. This study investigated the effects of doping ZnO nanoparticles with indium gallium (i.

In this study, an intense pulsed light (IPL) annealing process for a printed multi-layered indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) and silver (Ag) electrode structure was developed for a high performance all-printed inorganic thin film transistor (TFT). Through a solution process using IGZO precursor and Ag ink, the bottom gate structure TFT was fabricated. The spin coating method was used to form the IGZO semiconductor layer on a heavily-doped silicon wafer covered with thermally grown silicon dioxide.

Amorphous IGZO (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are standard backplane electronics to power active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) televisions due to their high carrier mobility and negligible low leakage characteristics. Despite their advantages, limitations in color depth arise from a steep subthreshold swing (SS) (≤ 0.1 V/decade), necessitating costly external compensation for IGZO transistors.

We propose that the post-deposition oxidation of the IGZO surface is essential for improving the interface quality, with AlO prepared by atomic layer deposition (ALD) employing a common metal precursor trimethylaluminum (TMA). Here, the ALD-AlO process was conducted using HO as an oxidant at a substrate temperature of 150 °C after IGZO deposition. The depth-resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) data reveal the defect-rich and poor interface of the standard AlO/IGZO stack due to the redox reaction between the IGZO surface and TMA.

As the scale-down and power-saving of silicon-based channel materials approach the limit, oxide semiconductors are being actively researched for applications in 3D back-end-of-line integration. For these applications, it is necessary to develop stable oxide semiconductors with electrical properties similar to those of Si. Herein, a single-crystal-like indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (IGZO) layer (referred to as a pseudo-single-crystal) is synthesized using plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition and fabricated stable IGZO transistors with an ultra-high mobility of over 100 cm Vs .
