Abstract
The authors show that ionic liquids are well suited to specialized electric field gating applications in which large surface charge densities can be induced on the surfaces of low-carrier density thin-film metals. Using either coplanar or overlay gate configurations, they demonstrate field-induced resistance changes on the order of a factor of 10 4 for thin conducting In O x films. The areal capacitances and field effect mobilities noticeably exceed those that can be achieved using Al O x dielectrics. In addition, the charge state can be frozen in by reducing the temperature, thus providing an opportunity for electric field tuning of metal-insulator transitions in a variety of thin-film systems.Keywords
