Indium-Zinc Oxide and related inorganic semiconductors are generating significant interest due to their transparency and large field effect mobilites for use in both next generation LCD backplane and flexible electronics. In our solution processed devices which have an ultra-thin active layer, between 5 and 20nm thick, we have found that films of equal thickness have dramatically different field-effect mobility and on-off ratios depending on subtle changes in the method of depositing the layer although the subsequent annealing step where the layer itself is formed remains the same. In some cases the mobilities more than double and exceed 10cm2/Vs. Furthermore we have seen that increasing the layer thickness results in an overall decrease in field effect mobility. The mechanism behind these effects is unclear and examining such thin films presents its own challenges. This talk will discuss different experimental techniques, from electronic measurements to SPM used to examine the obtained films and proposes possible mechanisms behind the enhanced transistor characteristics due to the preparation route.
