IGZO is a semiconducting material, consisting of indium (In), gallium (Ga), zinc (Zn) and oxygen (O). It has 20-50 times the charge carrier mobility of amorphous silicon. It is a promising candidate for thin-film transistors, as it possesses low process temperatures and excellent mobility. Among all the materials used for flat-panel displays, IGZO has been gaining significant attention as a backplane semiconductor due to its high mobility and low cost. It also offers excellent amorphous uniformity, which is essential for high-resolution, large-area and fully transparent displays. Indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is one of the most promising crystalline semiconductors for various optoelectronic applications including ultraviolet photodetectors, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis and neuromorphic devices with paired pulse facilitation emulating that of biological synapses.
