So far, it has been difficult to fabricate thin-film field-effect transistors (TFTs) based on inorganic halide perovskite (IHPs) due to their phase-instability and uncontrollable trap density. Here, the bottom-gate bottom-contact structured p-type TFTs are presented using the optimized IHP in the active layer. The stable cubic-CsPbI3 phase is successfully synthesized by doping bismuth iodide and reduced defect densities by adding potassium bromide. The IHP TFTs based on the tailored cubic-CsPbI3 show high hole mobility of 10 cm2V-1s-1, an on-off current ratio of 103, and a low subthreshold swing voltage of 0.43 Vdec-1. In addition, the operational stability of the fabricated device is demonstrated through the bias stress test. This study suggests that one of the key factors for fabrication an ideal p-type IHP transistor is managing charge transport properties in the IHP layer through defect engineering.
