Abstract:
In this study, we investigated the effect of oxygen content on the stability and the role of silicon in amorphous SiO₂-doped indium-zinc-oxide thin film transistor. The SiO₂-doped IZO (SIZO) thinfilms were deposited at room temperature by radio-frequency magnetron co-sputtering. To optimize stability and electrical performance, we changed the amount of oxygen by changing oxygen gas ratio in reactive sputtering (11%, 12%, and 13%) and used SiO₂ target to deposit SIZO active layer. By adjusting the parameters of SIZO thin-film transistor (TFT) preparation, we found that the best performance was obtained when the oxygen ratio of a-SIZO films was 11%. The optimized a-SIZO TFT exhibited an on/off current ratio (Ion/Ioff) of 2.1×107, saturation mobility (μsat) of 53.6 cm²/V . s, threshold voltage (Vth) of -7.3 V, and subthreshold swing (S.S.) of 1.7 V/decade. Compared to a-IZO films, the a-SIZO film showed better stability and electrical performance because it had fewer oxygen vacancies and defects.

Pyruvate Oxidation
First, the enzyme pyruvate dehydrogenase removes the carboxyl group from pyruvate and releases it as carbon dioxide. The stripped molecule is then oxidized and releases electrons, which are then picked up by NAD+...
