The deposition of amorphous InGaZnO4 (a-IGZO) semiconductor film, via a sputtering process, has been demonstrated in the literature. In this paper, we present a solution method as an alternative to obtain this semiconducting film. The dispersible IGZO colloids is formed first by co-precipitation of precursors, followed by hydrothermal treatment at 200°C for 1 hour and using CMC as the dispersion agent. The crystalline colloid would become amorphous when it was heated at above 250°C. The TFT structure was made by growing a dielectric silica layer using the CVD method, a metal layer using the sputtering method, and an active IGZO layer using the solution method. This device exhibits low operating voltage, the mobility is about 2cm2V−1s−1 and the Ion/Ioff ratio is 104. Further improvement in processing is needed.
