<abstract> <title> <x content-type="archive" xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>The effect of oxygen partial pressure (P<sub>O2</sub>) during the channel layer deposition on bias stability of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin film transistors (TFTs) is investigated. As P<sub>O2</sub> increases from 10% to 30%, it is found that the device shows enhanced bias stress stability with significantly reduced threshold voltage drift under positive gate bias stress. Based on the x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy measurement, the concentration of oxygen vacancies (O<sub>V</sub>) within the a-IGZO layer is suppressed by increasing P<sub>O2</sub>. Meanwhile, the low-frequency noise analysis indicates that the average trap density near the channel/dielectric interface continuously drops with increasing P<sub>O2</sub>. Therefore, the improved interface quality with increasing P<sub>O2</sub> during the channel layer deposition can be attributed to the reduction of interface O<sub>V</sub>-related defects, which agrees with the enhanced bias stress stability of the a-IGZO TFTs.</p> </abstract>
