Abstract

The 7 nm nanosheet tin oxynitride (SnON) with 7.6 % nitrogen thin film transistor (TFT) exhibits a record high field-effect mobility (TFE) of 299 cm2N-s. The 5 nm thick nanosheet SnON TFT showed μFE of 277 cm2N-s compared to control SnO2 device μFE of 211 cm2N-s with the same 5 nm thickness. According to quantum-mechanical calculations, the reason for the high μFE of nanosheet SnON TFT is its lower effective mass of electrons in the conduction band, which is 0.29 mo, compared to 0.41 mo for SnO2. By injecting non-oxide anions and controlling the valence band by substitutional alloying with nitrogen anions, SnON can further lower defect trap densities, boost on-current (ION), and improve the transistor's mobility. This allows for the removal or passivation of oxygen vacancy levels. The SnON TFT device can be extensively deployed in advanced high-definition displays and monolithic 3D ICs.
