Abstract:
A ZnO-based thin film transistor (TFT) is provided herein, as is a method of manufacturing the TFT. The ZnO-based TFT has a channel layer that comprises ZnO and ZnCl, wherein the ZnCl has a higher bonding energy than ZnO with respect to plasma. The ZnCl is formed through the entire channel layer, and specifically is formed in a region near THE surface of the channel layer. Since the ZnCl is strong enough not to be decomposed when exposed to plasma etching gas, an increase in the carrier concentration can be prevented. The distribution of ZnCl in the channel layer, may result from the inclusion of chlorine (Cl) in the plasma gas during the patterning of the channel layer.

The surfaces of the carbon nanotubes may be modified with curable functional groups, comprising oxirane groups and anhydride groups. A room-temperature solution process may be used to provide a relatively uniform and relatively highly-adhesive organic semiconductor layer in a simple and economical manner. Additionally, the organic thin film transistor having the organic semiconductor layer may have relatively high charge carrier mobility and relatively low threshold voltage.

In addition, a polymer organic semiconductor may be used to form the insulating layer and the organic semiconductor layer by wet processes, so the organic thin film transistor may be fabricated by simplified procedure(s) at reduced costs.
