Abstract
A method of manufacturing an IGZO active layer includes depositing ions including In, Ga, and Zn from a first target, and depositing ions including In from a second target having a different atomic composition from the first target. The deposition of ions from the second target may be controlled to adjust an atomic % of In in the IGZO layer to be about 45 atomic % to about 80 atomic %.
Claims5
A thin film transistor, comprising:
- a substrate;
- an IGZO active layer on the substrate, the IGZO active layer, an atomic % of In in the IGZO active layer being between 55 atomic % and 75 atomic %, and an atomic % of Ga in the IGZO active layer being at least 10 atomic %, and the IGZO active layer including a channel region, a source region, and a drain region;
- a gate electrode overlapping the channel region and insulated from the IGZO active layer by a gate insulator;
- and
- source and drain electrodes contacting the source and drain regions, respectively,
- wherein the IGZO active layer is formed by:
- depositing ions including In, Ga, and Zn from a first target including In, Ga, and Zn;
- and
- depositing ions including In from a second target having a different atomic composition from the first target, the second target including InZnO, and
- controlling the deposition of ions from the second target so as to adjust an atomic % of In in the IGZO active layer to be between 55 atomic % and 75 atomic %.
