Abstract
Magnesium Zinc Oxide (MZO)—based high voltage thin film transistor (MZO-HVTFT) is built on a transparent substrate, such as glass. The device has the circular drain and ring-shaped source and gate to reduce non-uniformity of the electric field distribution. Controlled Mg doping in the channel and modulated Mg doping in a transition layer located at the channel-gate dielectric interface improve the device's operating stability and increase its blocking voltage capability over 600V. The MZO HVTFT can be used for fabricating the micro-inverter in photovoltaic system on glass (PV-SOG), and for self-powered smart glass.
