Recently, oxide semiconductors have been widely studied due to their high electron mobility, transparency, and good stability under bias stress. Many TFTs and diodes use oxide semiconductors as the active layer for these reasons. However, underlying physics of oxide semiconductor must be studied to widen our understanding of dynamics of electron transfer in the active layer and the interface. Among the various measurement methods, impedance spectroscopy is versatile. It has been used to analyze the electrochemical processes and structures of organic light-emitting diodes, lithium-ion batteries, and compound solar cells. In this thesis, Cole-cole analysis of metal-oxide semiconductor-metal diode was conducted to discover the electrical process under varying frequency. In chapter 2, the fabrication of the metal-oxide semiconductor-metal diode and measurement methods were explained. In chapter 3, atomic force microscopy (AFM) analysis of the metal- oxide semiconductor-metal diode was performed. Roughness and thickness of the a-IGZO layer were measured for each molar concentration. In chapter 4, Cole-cole analysis of the metal-oxide semiconductor-metal diode was conducted. To generate Cole-cole plots, capacitance-voltage measurements were performed under varying frequency. In chapter 5, Equivalent circuit modeling of the metal-oxide semiconductor-metal diode was induced using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) simulation tool. The anodization of metal, tunneling effects, and schottky barrier exist for the equivalent circuits.
