Thin film transistor with metal oxide layer and method of making same

摘要

A thin film transistor includes an insulating substrate, an active layer located over the substrate, a gate electrode located over the substrate; and a charge storage region located between the active layer and the gate electrode. The charge storage region includes a tunneling dielectric located adjacent to the active layer, a blocking dielectric located adjacent to the gate electrode and a charge storage dielectric located between the tunneling dielectric and the blocking dielectric. At least one of the tunneling dielectric, the charge storage dielectric and the blocking dielectric comprises a layer having a dielectric constant greater than 3.9, such as a metal oxide layer.
