Title: Role of the electronically-active amorphous state in low-temperature processed In 2 O 3 thin-film transistors

Abstract

Process-structure-transport relationships in low-temperature-processed, blade-coated In 2 O 3 transistors using sol–gel and combustion chemistries are explored with X-ray scattering techniques. Electron mobility of ≈4.5 cm 2 V −1 s −1 is achieved at ≈220 °C.
