Effects of different contents yttrium doping on the electrical performance and stability of bilayer IZO/IYZO thin-film transistors

Applied Physics Letters, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 126(14)

Опубликована: Апрель 1, 2025

In this study, the effects of doping with different contents rare-earth element yttrium (Y) on electrical performance indium zinc oxide (IZO) and bilayer IZO/IYZO thin-film transistors (TFTs) were investigated. Through a rational design, TFT exhibits best Vth 0.2 V μFE 32.6 cm2/V s. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy band structure analysis demonstrated that, in TFT, 6-nm highly conductive ultrathin IZO provided free electrons electron transfer from layer to IYZO formation bending, thus increased carrier mobility devices. addition, 20-nm-thick controlled Ne by forming potential barrier (0.38 eV), thereby increasing stability. Moreover, experimental characterization revealed that Y can reduce concentration, oxygen vacancies, surface defects, other trap densities Therefore, stability small shifts −0.9, 0.8, −1.1, 1.0 under negative gate bias stress, positive light illumination stress measurements. Overall, designed TFTs open effective pathways for achieving high-performance TFTs.

Опубликована: Май 8, 2025

Abstract The Sb‐hybridization strategy enables the precise construction of p‐n heterojunctions, which significantly enhances electromagnetic wave (EMW) absorption performance by optimizing interface polarization. In this study, an innovative in situ ion‐exchange method is developed to implement Sb hybridization, establishing built‐in electric fields within CoS 2 /Sb S 3 @CNFs that amplify polarization relaxation loss. This structural design synergistically combines a carbon‐skeleton‐induced conductive network with magnetic loss mechanisms , ultimately yielding exceptional EMW absorber. optimized composite demonstrates remarkable attenuation capabilities, achieving minimum reflection (RL min ) −57.53 dB at mm and effective bandwidth (EAB max 7.28 GHz (covering X‐band (8–12 GHz) Ku‐band (12–18 GHz)). study not only provides novel for designing advanced absorbers but also highlights significance heterojunction engineering functional composites.
