Amorphous InGaZnO Thin-Film Transistors Compatible With Roll-to-Roll Fabrication at Room Temperature

High-performance amorphous InGaZnO (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are successfully fabricated on a colorless polyimide substrate using a top-gate self-aligned structure. All thin films are deposited by roll-to-roll-compatible sputtering processes at room temperature. The maximum field-effect mobility is 18 cm
