Abstract

The sub-band gap density of states (DOS) of Nb doped ZnO thin film transistors were extracted using a multi-frequency capacitance-voltage (C-V) method. The results can be represented by a two-term exponential DOS, representing the tail and deep states. The parameters for the tail and deep states are Ntail = 1.6 × 1019 cm− 3, Ttail = 540 K, Ndeep = 6.5 × 1016 cm− 3 and Tdeep = 4058 K respectively. Furthermore, the DOS from C-V provides a good fit with current-voltage characteristics, using the multiple trap and release model.
