Abstract

A ZnO based thin film transistor (TFT) with bottom-gate configuration and SiO₂ as insulating layer has been fabricated and characterized. The ZnO thin film was prepared by spin coating the sol-gel solution on the p-type Si wafers. The optical and structural properties of ZnO films were investigated using UV measurements and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The result of UV-visible study confirms that the films have a good absorbance in UV region and relatively low absorbance in the visible region. The TFT exhibited an off-current of 2.5×10^-7 A. The values of field effect channel mobility and on/off current ratio extracted for the device, measured 11 cm²/V.s and ~10² respectively. The value of threshold voltage was found to be 1.3 V.
