Flexible devices fabricated with polyimide (PI) substrate are crucial for foldable, rollable, or stretchable products in various applications. However, inherent technical challenges remain in mobile charge induced device instabilities and image retention, signi cantly hindering future technologies. We introduced a new barrier material, SiCOH, into the backplane of amorphous indium-gallium-zinc-oxide (a-IGZO) thin-lm transistors (TFTs) that were then implemented into production-level exible panels. We found that the SiCOH layer effectively compensates the surface charging induced by uorine ions at the interface between the PI substrate and the barrier layer under bias stress, thereby preventing abnormal positive V th shifts and image disturbance. The a-IGZO TFTs, metal-insulator-metal (MIM), and metalinsulator-semiconductor (MIS) capacitors with the SiCOH layer demonstrate reliable device performance, V th shifts, and capacitance changes with an increase in the gate bias stress. A exible device with SiCOH enables the suppression of abnormal V th shifts associated with PI and plays a vital role in the degree of image sticking phenomenon. This work provides new inspirations to creating much improved process integrity and paves the way for expediting versatile form-factors.
