Abstract

In this letter, we proposed solution-processed AlInZnO (AIZO)/InZnO (IZO) dual-channel thin-film transistors to realize both proper switching behavior and competitive device performance at the low annealing temperature of 350°C. A thin IZO layer provides a higher carrier concentration, thereby maximizing the charge accumulation and yielding high saturation mobility μ_sat, whereas a thick AIZO layer controls the charge conductance resulting in suitable threshold voltage V_th. We therefore obtain excellent device characteristics at 350 °C with μ_sat of 1.57 cm ²V_s, V_th of 1.28 V, an on/off ratio of ∼1.4 ×10⁷, and a subthreshold gate swing of 0.59 V/dec.
