transistors TFTs .Cu2O was deposited by reactive rf magnetron sputtering at room temperature and
the films exhibit a polycrystalline structure with a strongest orientation along ͑111͒ plane. The TFTs
exhibit improved electrical performance such as a field-effect mobility of cm2 /V s and an
on/off ratio of 2ϫ102.©2010 American Institute of Physics. ͓doi:
