The trade-off between mobility and stability in oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) hinders further advances of active-matrix flat panel display. Herein, a solution-processed bilayer active channel is designed to improve the stability and mobility simultaneously. The optical bandgap and work function of Tb:In2O3 films are modulated by tuning the films thickness and Tb concentration of Tb-doped indium oxide (Tb:In2O3) films. Large conduction band offset is achieved in Tb:In2O3 bilayer channel, which induces accumulation of abundant electrons at the interface. The mobility is significantly improved to 38.2 cm2/Vs, and the photoinduced stability of bilayer Tb:In2O3 TFTs is improved with low threshold voltage shift of 0.26 V and −0.38 V under negative-bias illumination stress (NBIS) and negative-bias temperature illumination stress (NBTIS), respectively.
