Abstract

In this study, we fabricate amorphous indium tin gallium zinc oxide (a-ITGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) on colorless polyimide (CPI) substrates and examine their electrical characteristics as functions of the bending radius. A representative a-ITGZO TFT shows typical n-type behavior and operates with a mobility of 34.32 cm2 V-1 s-1, threshold voltage of -0.71 V, subthreshold swing of 169 mV, and on/off ratio of 2 × 107. The a-ITGZO TFT operates stably even under a bending radius of 2 mm, regardless of the upward or downward bending. The thickness of the thin CPI substrate contributes to the stable operation of the bent TFT.
