抄録

We propose crystalline ZnSnO₃ as a new channel material for field-effect transistors. By molecular-beam epitaxy on LiNbO₃(0001) substrates, we synthesized films of ZnSnO₃, which crystallizes in the LiNbO₃-type polar structure. Field-effect transistors on ZnSnO₃ exhibit n-type operation with field-effect mobility of as high as 45 cm²V^-1s^-1 at room temperature. Systematic examination of the transistor operation for channels with different Zn/Sn compositional ratios revealed that the observed high-mobility reflects the nature of stoichiometric ZnSnO₃ phase. Moreover, we found an indication of coupling of transistor characteristics with intrinsic spontaneous polarization in ZnSnO₃, potentially leading to a distinct type of polarization-induced conduction.
