摘要

We report a model of the carrier transport and the subgap density of states in amorphous InGaZnO(4) (a-IGZO) for device simulation of a-IGZO thin-film transistors (TFTs) operated in both the depletion mode and the enhancement mode. A simple model using a constant mobility and two-step subgap density of states reproduced well the characteristics of the a-IGZO TFTs. a-IGZO exhibits low densities of tail states and deep gap states, leading to small subthreshold swings and high mobilities.
