This research focuses on the development of a high-performance quaternary Al–Hf–Zr–O (AHZO) dielectric film through a simplified sol-gel technique. Through a systematic adjustment of AlOx, HfOx, and ZrOx precursor ratios, the study fine-tunes the stoichiometry to optimize AHZO film dielectric characteristics. The resulting films demonstrate essential attributes for TFT operation, including a dielectric constant over 8.5, a robust breakdown field exceeding 5 MV/cm, and a minimal leakage current density below 10-5.5 A/cm2. Integration of the AHZO with a sol-gel-derived In–Ga–Zn–O (IGZO) active layer significantly improves device performance and reliability under bias stress, facilitated by the amorphous and exceptionally smooth nature of the AHZO layer. Electrical analysis confirms that AHZO/IGZO TFTs outperform those with conventional binary oxide dielectrics, underscoring the strategic significance of AHZO in advanced electronic applications. |
