Abstract

In this study, ZnGa2O4 thin-film transistors (TFTs) with various channel layer thicknesses were fabricated using radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The thickness of 30nm exhibited the best performance and outstanding gate-control ability with an on/off current ratio of 6.48×105, threshold voltage (VT) of 3.28V, and subthreshold swing (SS) of 0.31V/decade. ZnGa2O4, as a wide-bandgap highly transparent semiconducting material, is a potential candidate for optoelectronic applications. Therefore, we extended the applicability of ZnGa2O4 TFT with 30nm channel layer thickness to phototransistors. The phototransistor had a maximum responsivity of 0.0025A/W and a UV-to-visible rejection ratio of 9.80×103 at a bias voltage (VG) of −2 V.
