- the threshold voltage is defined as a voltage when the drain current is in the vicinity of 1 nA between the on-current and the off-current.
- S value is the minimum value of the gate voltage required to increase the drain current when rising from the off state to the on state in the Id-Vg characteristic, and the lower the S value, the more the drain current The increase becomes steep, indicating that the device characteristics are good.

Atomic%, (b) Al content is 1.6 atomic%, (c) Ta content is 1.4 atomic%, (d) Ti content is 2.4 atomic%, (e) Hf content is 3 0.0 atomic percent.

- ⁇ Hf
- ⁇ Mg
- ⁇ La
- FIG. 7 shows a relationship between the amount of In and the threshold voltage V th with ⁇ .
- the threshold voltage V th hardly varies with the addition of the In amount, but the field effect mobility ⁇ FE has a high In amount dependency, and the electric field increases as the In amount increases. It can be seen that the effect mobility is improved. Specifically, the field effect mobility tended to increase rapidly from the vicinity of 10 atomic% of the In amount, and the mobility increased gradually when the In amount was about 20 atomic%.
- FIG. 7 shows the results when Al is added as an X group element.
- Al is added as an X group element.
- the graph shows changes over time in TFT characteristics when a positive bias is applied for 0 to 3 hours (10800 seconds) at a substrate temperature of 60 ° C.
- these figures show the results when the substrate temperature is 25 ° C. (room temperature) (shown as “as depo” in FIG. 8), which has a corresponding X group element. The results are the same as those shown in FIGS.
- FIG. 8A reference is first made to a graph of Hf and Sn not defined by the present invention.
- the threshold voltage V th is shifted in the positive direction due to the increase of the substrate temperature. It can be seen that the threshold voltage shifts further to the positive side as the stress application time becomes longer (see ⁇ in the figure, the stress application time becomes longer from 0 sec to 10800 sec in the direction of the arrow). This is presumably because an acceptor-like defect occurred at the interface between the gate insulating film and the semiconductor layer as a result of continuing to apply a positive bias to the TFT, and electrons were trapped at the interface.
- the threshold voltage V due to heating at a substrate temperature of 25 ° C. ⁇ 60 ° C. It can be seen that there is no significant change in th , and that even when positive bias stress is continuously applied, the change in V th is smaller than when Sn or Hf is used.
- FIGS. 9A and 9B are shown in FIGS. 9A and 9B.
- FIG. 9B is a partially enlarged view of FIG. 9A.
- the threshold voltage change amount [Delta] V th of the stress application time is obtained by calculating as the difference between the threshold voltage at the stress time, the threshold voltage before stress application.
- the result of IGZO (conventional example) is also shown for reference.
- the threshold voltage V th is shifted in the positive direction when a positive bias is applied, regardless of the type of the X group element. This is presumably because the number of electrons trapped at the interface between the semiconductor layer and the gate insulating film increases by applying a positive bias.
- IGZO in the conventional example is 11.7 V
- ⁇ V th is further increased. It became high and was 16.8V.
- ⁇ V th of the example ( ⁇ ) containing Hf not specified in the present invention was also high, 16.3V. That is, these examples were found to be extremely inferior to positive bias stress tolerance.
- the element added with the X group element defined in the present invention shows good characteristics with the S value and mobility after applying a positive bias stress almost unchanged from those before applying stress. Yes.
- Example 2 In this example, the relationship between the density of the oxide semiconductor film and the TFT characteristics was examined for oxides having the compositions shown in Table 2. Specifically, the density of the oxide film (film thickness: 100 nm) was measured by the following method, and a TFT was produced in the same manner as in Example 1 described above, and the electrolytic effect mobility was measured.
- Table 2 No. 1 in Table 2
- the composition of the oxides 1 and 2 (In—Zn—Sn—O) is shown in No. 1 of Table 1 above. No. 2 in Table 2;
- the composition of the oxides 3 and 4 In—Zn—Al—O) is shown in No. 1 in Table 1 above. No.
- the density of the oxide was measured using XRR (X-ray reflectivity method). Detailed measurement conditions are as follows.
- Table 2 shows the results of Al and Ti as the X group element, but the relationship between the density of the oxide film and the field effect mobility described above is similarly seen when other X group elements are used. It was. From the above results, it can be seen that when the density of the oxide semiconductor layer is 6.0 g / cm 3 or more, a TFT having sufficiently high practical mobility can be obtained.

Description
J. Parkら、Appl. Phys. Lett., 1993,053505(2008)
前述した方法に基づき、図1に示す薄膜トランジスタ(TFT)を作製し、各特性を評価した。
基板温度:室温
ガス圧:5mTorr
酸素分圧:O2/(Ar+O2)=2%
成膜パワー密度:2.55W/cm2
膜厚:50nm
トランジスタ特性の測定はAgilent Technology社製「4156C」の半導体パラメータアナライザーを使用した。詳細な測定条件は以下のとおりである。
ソース電圧 :0V
ドレイン電圧:10V
ゲート電圧 :-30~30V(測定間隔:0.25V)
基板温度:室温
しきい値電圧とは、おおまかにいえば、トランジスタがオフ状態(ドレイン電流の低い状態)からオン状態(ドレイン電流の高い状態)に移行する際のゲート電圧の値である。本実施例では、ドレイン電流が、オン電流とオフ電流の間の1nA付近であるときの電圧をしきい値電圧と定義した。
S値は、Id-Vg特性においてオフ状態からオン状態に立ち上がる際のドレイン電流を一桁増加させるのに必要なゲート電圧の最小値であり、S値が低いほどドレイン電流の増加が急峻となり、デバイス特性が良好であることを示す。
電界効果移動度μFEは、TFT特性からVd>Vg-Vthである飽和領域にて導出した。飽和領域ではVg、Vthをそれぞれゲート電圧、しきい値電圧、Idをドレイン電流、L、WをそれぞれTFT素子のチャネル長、チャネル幅、Ciをゲート絶縁膜の静電容量、μFEを電界効果移動度とした。電界効果移動度μFEは下式から導出される。本実施例では、飽和領域を満たすゲート電圧付近におけるドレイン電流-ゲート電圧特性(Id-Vg特性)から電界効果移動度μFEを導出した。
本実施例では、実際のパネル駆動時の環境(ストレス)を模擬して、ゲート電極に正バイアスをかけながらストレス印加試験を行った。ストレス印加条件は以下のとおりである。特に有機ELディスプレイの場合、正バイアスストレスによりしきい値電圧が変動して電流値が低下するため、しきい値電圧の変化が小さいほどよい。
