Abstract

Indium Gallium Oxide (IGO) Thin-Film Transistors (TFTs) are recognized as potential candidates to overcome current performance barriers and serve as a novel driving force for the next generation of commercial display technologies. Herein, we undertake a comprehensive overview of the performance optimization strategies for IGO-based TFTs. This review begins with a concise overview of the current landscape and prevailing challenges in TFTs. Then, it examines efforts to enhance the performance of IGO-based TFTs, with a particular focus on advances in active layer optimization, gate dielectric engineering, contact engineering, interface engineering, and device structure optimization. This review aims to provide a comprehensive resource for researchers working on IGO-based TFTs and related fields.
