Thin film transistors (TFTs) have been fabricated using magnesium zinc oxide (MgZnO) layers deposited by atomic layer deposition at 200 °C. The composition of the MgZnO is systematically modified by varying the ratio of MgO and ZnO deposition cycles. A blue-shift of the near band-edge photoluminescence after post-deposition annealing at 300 °C indicates significant activation of the Mg dopant. A 7:1 ratio of ZnO:MgO deposition cycles was used to fabricate a device with a TFT channel width of 2000 μm and a channel length of 60 μm. This transistor yielded an effective saturation mobility of 4 cm{sup 2}/V s and a threshold voltage of 7.1 V, respectively. The on/off ratio was 1.6×10{sup 6} and the maximum interface state density at the ZnO/SiO{sub 2} interface is ∼6.5×10{sup 12} cm{sup −2}.
