Transparent thin-film transistors with bottom-gate figure are fabricated by sputter deposition of an Sb-doped SnO2 nanocrystal channel layer onto glass substrates at room temperature with plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition SiO2 gate dielectrics and sputtering ITO electrodes. These devices exhibit high-performance n-type transistor characteristics operating in depletion mode with an ultrahigh field-effect mobility of 158 cm2 V−1 s−1. The current on/off ratio and the subthreshold swing are found to be 3 × 104 and 0.2 V/decade, respectively. These achievements demonstrate that SnO2-based nanocrystal thin-film transistors are promising for high-speed transparent and flexible electronics on temperature-sensitive substrates.
