Effect of insulating layer material and structure on performance of thin film transistors
The paper focuses on analyzing the performance of thin film transistors with different insulation material and different insulation layer structures
based on semiconductor simulation software Silvaco TCAD and combined with experimental validation. The research model is based on the bottom grid structure
and the semiconductor layer is made of amorphous IGZO material. The insulation layer is made of different combinations of SiN
x
and HfO

with overlapping structure. The simulation and experiment results show that the performance of transistors with high-k overlapping insulation layer structure is better than transistors with single SiN
x
layer. For SiN

is more appropriate. For transistors with 3 or 5 insulation layers containing high-k materials
the symmetric structure with the same thickness for each layer is the best. The device structure parameters of TFT obtained by simulation can guide the actual production of TFT devices.
