Abstract

Thermopower (S) for anatase TiO₂ epitaxial films (n3D: 1017 - 1021 cm-3) and the gate voltage (V_g) dependence of S for thin film transistors (TFTs) based on TiO₂ films were investigated to clarify the electronic density of states around the conduction band bottom. The slope of the S -log n3D plots was -20 μV K^-1, which is an order magnitude smaller than that of semiconductors (-198 μV K^-1), and the S values for the TFTs increased with V_g in the low V_g region, suggesting that the extra tail states are hybridized with the original conduction band bottom.
