Abstract

The characteristics of the deposited thin films of the zinc oxide (ZnO) at different oxygen pressures will be elucidated in this work. The resistivity of ZnO thin films were dominated by the carrier concentration under high oxygen pressure conditions while controlled by the carrier mobility at low oxygen ambiences. In addition, we will show the characteristics of the transparent ZnO based thin film transistor (TFT) fabricated at a full room temperature process with gate dielectric of gadolinium oxide ($Gd_2O_3$) thin films.
