We successfully fabricated bottom-gate top-contact a-IGZO TFT with bilayer high-dielectric-constant (high-k) Al2O3 and HfO2 gate insulator. We compared the performance of the bilayer gate insulator with the monolayer high-k gate insulator and also analyzed which high-k material forms a better interface with IGZO. The best results were obtained with a bilayer gate insulator which achieved the highest mobility value of 7.03 ± 0.90 cm2/Vs, low leakage current of ~10-8 A, threshold voltage of -0.3 V, corresponding to a smooth HfO2/IGZO interface and high-k.
