Junctionless (JL) thin-film transistors (TFTs) are promising candidates for low-cost, large-area electronic devices, but improvements in mobility and bias stability are still required. In this study, the effects of independent annealing of the indium oxide (InOx) channel layer and the aluminum oxide (AlOx) capping layer (CL) on the performance and reliability of InOx/AlOx heterostructure JL TFTs are examined. Devices were fabricated via solution deposition and photopatterning, and the InOx and AlOx layers were annealed at 250 °C and 400 °C. Increasing the annealing temperature from 250 °C to 400 °C, the InOx layer crystallized and densified. The AlOx layer remained amorphous at both temperatures, but its metal-hydroxyl content decreased with higher annealing. For both layers, JL TFTs annealed at 400 °C exhibited the best electrical performance (threshold voltage = 1.82 ± 0.40 V, subthreshold swing = 0.50 ± 0.07 V dec−1, saturation mobility = 1.57 ± 0.37 cm2 V−1 s−1). The threshold voltage shift under positive bias stress was 1.70 V, which demonstrates excellent bias stability. These results show that simultaneous high-temperature annealing of the channel and CL is essential to reduce trap-assisted scattering and stabilize electrostatics in JL TFTs, providing practical process guidelines for bias-stable and high-performance oxide electronics.
