Physics and Technology of Crystalline Oxide Semiconductor CAAC-IGZO: Application to Displays(Hardcover)

This book highlights the display applications of c-axis aligned crystalline indium–gallium–zinc oxide (CAAC-IGZO), a new class of oxide material that challenges the dominance of silicon in the field of thin film semiconductor devices. It is an enabler for displays with high resolution and low power consumption, as well as high-productivity manufacturing.

The applications of CAAC-IGZO focus on liquid crystal displays (LCDs) with extremely low power consumption for mobile applications, and high-resolution and flexible organic light-emitting diode (OLED) displays, and present a large number of prototypes developed at the Semiconductor Energy Laboratory. In particular, the description of LCDs includes how CAAC-IGZO enables LCDs with extremely low refresh rate that provides ultra-low power consumption in a wide range of use cases.

Moreover, this book also offers the latest data of IGZO. The IGZO has recently achieved a mobility of 65.5 cm2?}V-s, and it is expected to potentially exceed 100 cm2?}V-s as high as that of LTPS.

A further two books in the series will describe the fundamentals of CAAC-IGZO, and the application to LSI devices.

Key features:

• Introduces different oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor designs and their impact on the reliability and performance of LCDs and OLED displays, both in pixel and panel-integrated driving circuits.

• Reviews fundamentals and presents device architectures for high-performance and flexible OLED displays, their circuit designs, and oxide semiconductors as an enabling technology.

• Explains how oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors drastically can improve resolution and lower power consumption of LCDs.

本書重點介紹了c軸對齊的結晶銦鎵鋅氧化物（CAAC-IGZO）在薄膜半導體器件領域挑戰矽的優勢的顯示應用。它是高分辨率、低功耗顯示器的實現者，也是高生產力製造的關鍵。

CAAC-IGZO的應用主要集中在極低功耗的液晶顯示器（LCD）和高分辨率、柔性有機發光二極管（OLED）顯示器上，並展示了在半導體能源實驗室開發的大量原型。特別是在LCD的描述中，介紹了CAAC-IGZO如何實現極低刷新率的LCD，在廣泛的應用場景中實現超低功耗。

此外，本書還提供了最新的IGZO數據。IGZO最近實現了65.5 cm2·V-s的遷移率，預計有望達到與LTPS相當的100 cm2·V-s以上。

該系列還將出版另外兩本書，分別介紹CAAC-IGZO的基礎知識和在LSI器件中的應用。

主要特點包括：
- 介紹不同氧化物半導體場效應晶體管設計及其對LCD和OLED顯示器的可靠性和性能的影響，包括像素和面板集成驅動電路。
