• We fabricated thin-film transistors (Mg 0.06 Zn 0.94 O:H-TFTs) in an argon and hydrogen (Ar + H 2 ) atmosphere by magnetron sputtering using Mg 0.06 Zn 0.94 O as the target material without heating the P ++ –Si/SiO 2 substrate. We studied the influence of Mg/H co-doping on film properties and device performance. Mg doping of the ZnO film increases the formation energy of oxygen vacancies and reduces that of interstitial hydrogen, whereas H doping acts as a shallow donor and passivates oxygen-related defects. On the one hand, the combined effect of the dopants modulated the carrier concentration of the film. On the other hand, the scattering of electrons by the interface trap states in the channel layer reduced, thereby improving the TFT performance. At H 2 /(Ar + H 2 ) = 0.39%, the overall performance of Mg 0.06 Zn 0.94 O:H-TFT is the best, with a saturation mobility of 8.11 cm 2 /Vs, an on/off-current ratio of 6.17 × 10 6 , a threshold voltage of 2.78 V and a subthreshold swing of 0.42 V/Dec, and the positive and negative bias stress stability values are 0.61 and − 1.02 V, respectively. Besides, all features are significantly improved compared with those of ZnO-TFT. The simple fabrication of high-performance Mg 0.06 Zn 0.94 O:H-TFTs under substrate at room temperature can promote ZnO-based TFT application in flexible electronics.
