The effect of nitrogen plasma on formation of the low-resistive source/drain (S/D) regions in self-aligned (SA) In-Ga-Zn-Sn-O (IGZTO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) was investigated. The width-normalized parasitic SD resistance of SA-IGZTO-TFTs with nitrogen plasma treatment was 11.3 W·cm, which is ca. 40% lower than that with argon plasma treatment.
