We report the results of a study to enhance metal oxide (MO) thin-film transistor (TFT) performance by doping both the semiconductor (In2O3) and gate dielectric (Al2O3) layers with boron (yielding IBO and ABO, respectively) and provide the first quantitative analysis of how B doping affects charge transport in these MO dielectric and semiconducting matrices. The impact of 1-9 atom % B doping on MO microstructure, morphology, oxygen defects, charge transport, and dielectric properties is analyzed together, in detail, by complementary experimental (microstructural, electrical) and theoretical (ab initio MD, DFT) methods. The results indicate that B doping frustrates In2O3 crystallization while suppressing defects responsible for electron trapping and carrier generation. In the adjacent Al2O3 dielectric, B doping increases the dielectric constant and refractive index while reducing leakage currents. Furthermore, optimized solution-processed TFTs combining IBO channels with 6 atom % B and ABO dielectrics with 10 atom % B exhibit field effect mobilities as high as 11 cm(2) V-1 s(-1), current on/off ratios >10(5), threshold voltages = 0.6 V, and superior bias stress durability.
