Improvements of Electrical Characteristics in Poly-Si Nanowires Thin-Film Transistors with External Connection of a BiFeO(3) Capacitor

By a sol–gel method, a BiFeO(3) (BFO) capacitor is fabricated and connected with the control thin film transistor (TFT). Compared with a control thin-film transistor, the proposed BFO TFT achieves 56% drive current enhancement and 7–28% subthreshold swing (SS) reduction. Moreover, the effect of the...

Sumario:By a sol–gel method, a BiFeO(3) (BFO) capacitor is fabricated and connected with the control thin film transistor (TFT). Compared with a control thin-film transistor, the proposed BFO TFT achieves 56% drive current enhancement and 7–28% subthreshold swing (SS) reduction. Moreover, the effect of the proposed BiFeO(3) capacitor on I(DS)-V(GS) hysteresis in the BFO TFT is 0.1–0.2 V. Because dV(int)/dV(GS) > 1 is obtained at a wide range of V(GS), it reveals that the incomplete dipole flipping is a major mechanism to obtain improved SS and a small hysteresis effect in the BFO TFT. Experimental results indicate that sol-gel BFO TFT is a potential candidate for digital application.
