In this work thin film transistors were fabricated by depositing ZnO thin films with a thickness of 12 nm by spray pyrolysis on substrates with predefined electrodes. Because of their instability against oxygen and moisture the thin film transistors were passivated using for this purpose tailor made β-diketones with trifluormethyl and benzene-derivatives as substituents. These molecules were characterized by DFT calculations in order to correlate their properties to electrical results. After passivation of the ZnO surface transistors exhibit reduced hysteresis, increased mobility and better stability against electrical bias stress. The improvement of ZnO thin film transistors depends on the used passivation molecule. UV-Vis, AFM, XPS and IV measurements were used to characterize optical, morphological and electrical properties, respectively. We conclude that functionalized β-diketones passivate surface traps on solution processed ZnO thin films achieving better stability against oxygen and moisture under electrical operation. Best electrical performance is found for thin film transistors passivated with molecules containing toluene and chlorobenzene side groups.
