    An n-type channel transparent thin film field-effect transistor (FET) using a top-gate configuration on a sapphire substrate is presented. ZnO:Li film was used as a channel, and MgF2 film as a gate insulator. Measurements showed that ZnO:Li films are ferroelectrics with spontaneous polarization PS=1–5μC/cm2 and coercive field EC=5–10kV/cm. The dependences of drain–source current on drain–source voltage at various gate–source voltages in two antiparallel PS states were measured and the values of field-effect mobility and threshold voltage were determined for two PS states are as follows: (a) μ=1.5cm2/Vs, Uth=30V; (b) μ=1.7cm2/Vs, Uth=23V. Thus, PS switching leads to a change in FET channel parameters. Results can be used to create a bistable or, more precisely, digital FET.
