Optimization of a Solution-Processed SiO2 Gate Insulator by Plasma Treatment for Zinc Oxide Thin Film Transistors (2015)
Journal Article
Jeong, Y., Pearson, C., Kim, H., Park, M., Kim, H., Do, L., & Petty, M. (2016). Optimization of a Solution-Processed SiO2 Gate Insulator by Plasma Treatment for Zinc Oxide Thin Film Transistors. ACS Applied Materials and Interfaces, 8(3), 2061-2070. https://doi.org/10.1021/acsami.5b10520

We report on the optimization of the plasma treatment conditions for a solution-processed silicon dioxide gate insulator for application in zinc oxide thin film transistors (TFTs). The SiO2 layer was formed by spin coating a perhydropolysilazane (PHP...
