- Abstract
- A comparative study is made of the low-frequency
noise (LFN) in amorphous indium–gallium–zinc oxide (a-IGZO)
thin-film transistors (TFTs) with Al2O3 and Al2O3/SiNx gate
dielectrics. The LFN is proportional to 1/fγ , with γ ∼ 1 for both
devices, but the normalized noise for the Al2O3/SiNx device is two
to three orders of magnitude lower than that for the Al2O3 device.
The mobility fluctuation is the dominant LFN mechanism in both
devices, but the noise from the source/drain contacts becomes comparable
to the intrinsic channel noise as the gate overdrive voltage
increases in Al2O3/SiNx devices. The SiNx interfacial layer is
considered to be very effective in reducing LFN by suppressing
the remote phonon scattering from the Al2O3 dielectric. Hooges
parameter is extracted to ∼6.0 × 10−3 in Al2O3/SiNx devices.
