A simple process technology, combining in one step the etching of the gate‐stack and the doping of the source/drain regions, is developed for realizing a polycrystalline zinc oxide thin‐film transistor. The resulting transistor exhibits a field‐effect mobility of ∼280cm 2 /Vs, a linearly extrapolated threshold voltage of ∼1V, a pseudo sub‐threshold slope of ∼185mV/decade and an on/off current ratio of ∼4×10 7 . These characteristics are found to behave nicely with reducing channel length, exhibiting short‐channel effects only when the channel length is scaled to ∼1μm.
