Operation characteristics of amorphous In-Ga-Zn-O (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) were improved to a subthreshold voltage swing (S) of 217 mV (decade)(-1), a mobility of similar to 11.4 cm(2) (Vs)(-1), and a threshold voltage (V(th)) of 0.1 V by O(3) annealing at a temperature as low as 150 degrees C. However, the O(3) annealing at 300 degrees C caused serious deterioration and exhibited a bistable transition between a large S state and a large Vth state. This transition is attributed to incorporation of excess oxygen and associated subgap defects with a negative-U characteristic. It also explains why a-IGZO channels deposited at high oxygen pressures do not produce operating TFTs. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics. [doi:10.1063/1.3633100]
