Abstract: Indium oxide (In2O3) nanowire has great potential in transistor, storage and sensor applications owing to their suitable band width and high electron mobility. In this article, In2O3 nanowires were fabricated by simple chemical vapor deposition (CVD). Combining with electron beam lithography (EBL), In2O3 FETs (Field effect transistor, FET) were successfully prepared. Then, Pt was deposited on In2O3 FET with different thickness by sputtering system via different deposition time, and the effect of Pt on the electrical property of In2O3 FETs was investigated. The morphology, structure, optical properties and chemical valence of elements and composition of nanowires were characterized by SEM, XRD, PL and XPS. By analyzing the electrical performance of In2O3 FETs before and after Pt deposition, the threshold voltage (Vth) of FETs tends to drift to the right, the Ion/Ioff and carrier concentration are a bit decrease but the carrier mobility is a bit increase. The shift of Vth is attributed to the electron transfer in the metal and semiconductor system. In addition, the surface defects of nanowires act as the adsorption sites can adsorb oxygen and water molecules, which will capture free electrons from the nanowires, results in the decrease of the carrier concentration. The results show that the Pt metal nanoparticles can modulate the electrical properties of In2O3 FETs.
