Abstract

The invention discloses a hydrogen-passivated zinc oxide-base thin film transistor. According to the hydrogen-passivated zinc oxide-base thin film transistor, a zinc oxide-base semiconductor material doped with titanium or magnesium and passivated through hydrogen plasma is used as a channel layer. A preparation method of the hydrogen-passivated zinc oxide-base thin film transistor includes the steps that a highly-doped P-type silicon wafer on which silicon dioxide grows is used as a substrate, radio frequency magnetron sputtering is conducted on a composite target of Ti and zinc oxide or Mg and zinc oxide, and meanwhile a small zinc oxide thin film layer doped with Ti or Mg is formed on the substrate through first masking deposition; in-situ hydrogen plasma processing is conducted; direct current sputtering is conducted on the zinc oxide-base thin film layer on which in-situ hydrogen plasma processing is conducted, an Al electrode is prepared through secondary masking deposition, and then the hydrogen-passivated zinc oxide-base thin film transistor is obtained. The hydrogen-passivated zinc oxide-base thin film transistor has the advantages of being high in electron mobility, good in electrical stability, high in switch ratio and the like. The preparation method is simple in process and low in cost, and threshold voltage of a device can be adjusted through hydrogen passivation time and the content of dopants.
