Thin film transistors (TFTs) using amorphous oxides of post-transition metals: indium, gallium, and zinc for the channel materials are fabricated with radio-frequency magnetron sputtering methods for the deposition of the channel and the gate insulator layers, at room temperature with no high-temperature post-deposition annealing process. The TFTs operate as n-channel field-effect transistors with various structures of top/bottom gate and top/bottom source-and-drain contact including the inverse-stagger types, and with various materials for the gate insulators, the electrodes, and the substrates. The TFTs having smoother channel interfaces show the better performance at the saturation mobility beyond 10 cm2 V− 1 s− 1 and the on-to-off current ratio over 108 than the rough channel interfaces. The ring oscillator circuits operate with five-stage inverters of the top-gate TFTs or the inverse-stagger TFTs. Organic light-emission diode cells are driven by a simple circuit of the TFTs. It is also found by a combinatorial approach to the material exploration that the TFT characteristics can be controlled by the composition ratio of the metals in the channel layers. The amorphous oxide channel TFTs fabricated with sputtering deposition at low temperature could be a candidate for key devices of large-area flexible electronics.
