Air could apparently improve the thermal stability of the a-IGZO TFTs.
The ambient oxygen was proved to exhibit the evident improvements in the thermal stability of the a-IGZO TFTs.
The negative Vth shifts of the a-IGZO TFTs at high temperatures were hardly influenced by the extra electrons donated by H2O.
The higher ambient oxygen content in the surrounding atmosphere made the thermal generation of the oxygen vacancies in the active layers more difficult.
