Abstract
The authors report on the fabrication of a low-voltage-driven top-gate ZnO thin-film transistor with a polymer/high- oxide double-layer dielectric. Hybrid double-layer dielectric was formed on patterned ZnO through sequential deposition processes: spin casting of -thin poly-4-vinylphenol and e-beam evaporation of -thick amorphous high- oxide ( mixture). Room-temperature-deposited ZnO channel exhibits much rougher surfaces compared to that of deposited ZnO, so that enhanced device performances were achieved from a ZnO thin-film transistor (TFT) prepared with deposited ZnO: for field-effect mobility and for on/off current ratio. Adopting our top-gate ZnO-TFT, a load-resistance inverter was set up and demonstrated decent static and dynamic operations at .
