摘要

In this article, we report the fabrication of SnO(2) thin film transistors (TFTs) fabricated by reactive evaporation. Different from the previous reports, the fabricated TFTs exhibit p-type conductivity in its undoped form. The postdeposition annealing temperature was tuned to achieve p-channel SnO(2) TFTs. The on/ off ratio and the field-effect mobility were similar to 10(3) and 0.011 cm(2)/V s, respectively. To demonstrate inverter circuit, two devices with different threshold voltages were combined and an output gain of 2.8 was achieved. The realization of p-channel oxide TFTs would open up new challenges in the area of transparent electronics.
