Abstract

We report a technique for extraction of the intrinsic subgap density of states (gA,int(E)) by deembedding the parasitic capacitance in amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide TFTs through the optical charge pumping method. As structure-dependent parameters in the proposed extraction technique, the overlap length Lov between the source/drain (S/D) and the active layer and the parasitic overlap area between the gate and the S/D metal (C par}, S/Cpar, D) are considered under dark and subbandgap photonic states. We obtained gA,int(E) as a superposition of the exponential deep and tail states with NTA,int6.0×10 16eV-1cm-3, kTintTA,0.16eV, N DA,int1.8×1015eV-1cm-3, and kTDA,int =1.9eV from samples with various parasitic areas.
