Temperature Gradient ZnO Deposited via ALD for High-Performance Transistor Applications
This work reports an alternative atomic layer deposition (ALD) method to fabricate ZnO thin-film transistors (TFTs). The ZnO film is deposited with temperature naturally-cooling process from 200 to 100°C, called a “temperature gradient ZnO (TG-ZnO)”). After optimized...

The ZnO film is deposited with temperature naturally-cooling process from 200 to 100°C, called a “temperature gradient ZnO (TG-ZnO)”).
