  • A study of deep levels of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors

    Creator:
    Huang, Chun-ta
    Abstract:
    A study of deep levels of the emitter region of a heterojunction bipolar transistor is investigated using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), deep level admittance spectroscopy (DLAS), thermally stimulated capacitance (TSCAP), and capacitance-voltage (C-V) profiling. The DX center, with an activation energy of 0.45 eV, is the only deep level...

  • Contact resistance and stability assessment of oxide-based thin film transistors

    Creator:
    Hung, Celia M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs), contact resistance and instability assessment. First, determination of the contact resistance of indium tin oxide (ITO) on two wide-band gap semiconductors, zinc oxide (ZnO) and indium gallium oxide (IGO), is attempted and the effects of contact resistance on device...

  • Inorganic thin-film solar cells

    Creator:
    Spies, Jack Alexander
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this thesis is to explore new absorber and p-type window layer materials for thin-film solar cell applications. A new thin-film electron beam deposition system has been installed, is now operational, and has been used to deposit several types of solar cell absorber layers. Material investigations include...

  • Development of high efficiency solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Ravichandran, Ram
    Abstract:
    Current cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) utilize thick absorbers (2 - 4 μm). For efficient carrier extraction in these TFSCs, the absorber layer requires high carrier mobilities and a long minority carrier lifetime, which necessitates the use of a high purity, defect-free thin film....

  • Transparent electronics : thin-film transistors and integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Presley, Rick E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of transparent electronics, SnO₂ transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) and transparent circuits. Both depletion- and enhancement-mode SnO₂ TTFTs are realized. The maximum effective mobility for the depletion- and enhancement-mode devices are 2 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.8 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, respectively. A variety of techniques to decrease the carrier...

  • Physical vapor deposition of novel thin-film solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Waters, Benjamin E.
    Abstract:
    Current leading thin-film solar cell technologies, i.e., cadmium telluride (CdTe) and copper indium gallium diselenide (CIGS), employ elements which are either toxic (Cd), or rare and/or expensive (In, Te, Ga, and Cd). The aim of this thesis is to investigate new, abundant, non-toxic p-type semiconductors for potential solar absorber application....
