In this study europium doped gallium oxide deposited on glass substrates is used to make red (611 nm) electroluminescent devices that are transparent to the visible spectrum. The conducting electrodes used are indium tin oxide (ITO), and a novel indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) layer also deposited by pulsed laser deposition. The origin of the red emission is the 5D0 to 7F2 transition and is consistent with photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence results.

Applying a gate bias stress to indium gallium zinc oxide transparent thin film transistors was found to induce a parallel threshold voltage shift without changing the field effect mobility or the subthreshold gate voltage swing. The threshold voltage change is logarithmically dependent on the duration of the bias stress implying a charge tunneling mechanism resulting in trapped negative charge screening the applied gate voltage.}, number={3}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Suresh, A. and Muth, J.

The carrier concentration was found to vary by several orders of magnitude from insulating to 1019 carriers/cm3 depending on the oxygen partial pressure during deposition. Hall mobilities as high as 16 cm2/V s were observed. This is approximately an order of magnitude higher than the mobility of amorphous silicon and indicates that InGaO3(ZnO)x with x ≤ 5 may be suitable for transparent, thin film transistor applications.

A transparent conductive InGaZnO layer on a spin on glass insulator served as the top contact, allowing high electric fields to be applied transverse to the ZnO layer.
