Abstract

Oxide semiconductors are highly attractive for fabrication of large-area thin-film electronics because of their high electrical performance, low process temperature, high uniformity, and ease of industrial manufacturing. n-type oxide semiconductors, such as InGaZnO, are highly developed and have already been commercialized for backplane drivers of flat-panel displays. To date, developing CMOS technology is still an urgent issue in order to build low-power electronic circuits based on oxide semiconductors. In this paper, various CMOS circuits, including inverters, NAND, NOR, XOR, d-latches, full adders, and 7-, 11-, 21-, and 51-stage ring oscillators (ROs), are fabricated based on sputtered p-type tin monoxide and n-type InGaZnO. The inverters show rail-to-rail output voltage behavior, low average static power consumption of 8.84 nW, high noise margin level up to 40% supply voltage, high yield of 98%, and high uniformity with negligible standard deviation. The NAND, NOR, XOR, d-latches, and full adders show desirably ideal input-output characteristics. The performances of ROs indicate small stage delay of ∼ 1μs, extremely high uniformity and high yieldwhich are essential for large-area thin-film electronics. This paper may inspire constructions of low power, large area, large scale, and high-performance transparent/flexible CMOS circuits fully based on oxide semiconductors for applications beyond flat-panel displays.
