Abstract
A thin film circuit includes a thin film transistor with a metal oxide semiconductor channel having a conduction band minimum (CBM) with a first energy level. The transistor further includes a layer of passivation material covering at least a portion of the metal oxide semiconductor channel. The passivation material has a conduction band minimum (CBM) with a second energy level. The second energy level being lower than, equal to, or no more than 0.5 eV above the first energy level. The circuit is used for an electronic device including any one of an AMLCD, AMOLED, AMLED, AMEPD.
