  • Thin-Film Transistors with Metal Oxide Channel Interfaces
    Publication number: 20260122970
    Abstract: An example thin-film transistor includes a source, a drain, a gate, and a body of channel material disposed within the influence of the gate between the source and the drain. The body of channel material includes a metal oxide. The body of channel material forms a carrier channel between the source and the drain when sufficient voltage is applied to the gate. The source includes a body of source material that includes ruthenium and an oxide-stabilizing metal that has an oxide that has greater hydrogen stability than ruthenium oxide.
    Type: Application
