Reliability improvement mechanism using a fluorinated silicon nitride (SiN x: F) gate insulator (GI) was investigated. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis was performed focusing on bonding state of metals (In, Ga, Zn), in order to reveal the effect of fluorine in SiN x: F on bonding state at the interface between SiN x: F and a-InGaZnO. Our analysis clarified that the In-F x and In-OF bonding states were formed at the a-InGaZnO/GI interface, leading to reducing the number of tail states near conduction band minimum. The behavior of time evolution of threshold voltage shift under positive-bias current stress (PBCS) was described by stretched-exponential equation. The result of PBCS assumed us that the a-InGaZnO TFTs with SiN x: F GI has fewer negatively charged deep trap and form more ordered interface with few tail state which originated in In was formed, leading to highly reliable a-InGaZnO TFT.
