  • Development of Cu-based Thin Films for Optoelectronic Applications

    Creator:
    Angelos, Gregory S.
    Abstract:
    CIGS and CdTe based commercial thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) require an absorber thickness greater than 2 µm and 4 µm, respectively, to adequately absorb the solar spectrum. To efficiently extract photoexcited electrons, these TFSCs require relatively defect-free absorbers with high-minority carrier mobility (> 100 cm2V−1s−1) and long lifetime (> 10...

  • Development and Applications of Oxide Thin Films using Atomic Layer Deposition and Prompt Inorganic Condensation

    Creator:
    Smith, Sean Weston
    Abstract:
    In the first part of this work, thin films of Al₂O₃ deposited via atomic layer deposition (ALD) are demonstrated to improve the thermal stability of cellulose nanocrystal (CNC) aerogels. ALD is a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) like method in which sequential precursor exposures and self-limited surface reactions produce a conformal...

  • Atomic layer deposition of nanolaminate Al₂O₃-Ta₂O₅ and ZnO-SnO₂ films

    Creator:
    Smith, Sean Weston
    Abstract:
    Thin films are an enabling technology for a wide range of applications, from microprocessors to diffusion barriers. Nanolaminate thin films combine two (or more) materials in a layered structure to achieve performance that neither film could provide on its own. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a chemical vapor deposition technique...
