Gomes*1, Dinesh Kumar*2, Neri Alves*1, Jeff Kettle*2, Lucas Fugikawa-Santos*3 1School of Technology and Sciences, São Paulo State University - UNESP, 2Scholl of Electronic Engineering, Bangor University, 3Institute of Geosciences and Exact Sciences, São Paulo State University - UNESP Anodization parameters for growth of the aluminum-oxide dielectric layer of zinc-oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) are varied to determine the effects on the electrical parameter responses. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) is applied to a Plackett-Burman design of experiments (DOE) to determine the manufacturing conditions that result in optimized device performance.
