In this letter the stability of transparent thin‐film transistors (TTFTs) based on the ZnO–SnO 2 (ZTO) material system is investigated. Bottom‐gate devices have been subject to electrical stress via a gate–source bias of 10 V and a drain‐source bias of 10 V leading to a drain–source current of 188 µA. In optimized TTFTs with a composition of [Zn]:[Sn] = 36:64 the relative change of the saturated field effect mobility was less than 1% and the threshold voltage shift was about 320 mV after 1000 hours of operation. This extraordinary stability of ZTO TTFTs underlines their suitability as drivers in active matrix OLED displays. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
