High-performance -based transparent thin-film transistors were processed featuring low thermal budget. The device shows a field-effect mobility of , a subthreshold swing of 0.28 V/decade, and an on/off current ratio of . These results are attributed to the high dielectric constant of and unique electronic structure of . Furthermore, the cubic phases of crystalline and films have the identical crystal structure with a small lattice mismatch, which provides a well-defined dielectric/semiconductor interface for the optimal performance.

It is assumed that the vacuum levels of the and layer are continuous. Electron affinity energies of and are cited to be 1.7 eV and 4.3 eV, respectively. Hence, it can be shown that the conduction band offset of the interface are roughly equal to 2.6 eV.
