  • Abstract
    We have succeeded in fabrication of ultra-low power poly-Si based thin film transistors (TFTs) with 10 nm gate insulators and 1 V driving voltage. An ultrathin interfacial SiO2 layer formed in 68 wt% nitric acid (HNO3) aqueous solutions at 120°C decreases a gate leakage current by two orders of magnitude, resulting in a high on/off ratio of 109.
