Thin film engineering for transparent thin film transistors
… (ZnO) and Indium Gallium Zinc Oxide (IGZO) thin films are of interest as oxide semiconductors in thin film transistor (TFT) applications, due to visible light transparency, and low deposition temperature. There is particular interest in ZnO and IGZO based transparent TFT devices fabricated at low …
