Fully transparent field-effect transistor with high drain current and on-off ratio

Abstract

We report a fully transparent thin-film transistor utilizing a La-doped BaSnO3 channel layer that provides a drain current of 0.468 mA/μm and an on-off ratio of 1.5 × 108. The La-doped BaSnO3 channel is grown on a 100–150 nm thick unintentionally doped BaSnO3 buffer layer on a (001) MgO substrate by molecular-beam epitaxy. Unpatterned channel layers show mobilities of 127–184 cm2 V−1 s−1 at carrier concentrations in the low to mid 1019 cm−3 range. The BaSnO3 is patterned by reactive ion etching under conditions preserving the high mobility and conductivity. Using this patterning method, a sub-micron-scale thin film transistor exhibiting complete depletion at room temperature is achieved.
