  • Ferroelectric thin film development

    Creator:
    Harman, Taran V.
    Abstract:
    The long-term goal of the research project initiated with this thesis is the development of lead-free, fully-transparent ferroelectric devices, such as ferroelectric capacitors or ferroelectric-gate field-effect transistors. Ferroelectric materials exhibit spontaneous polarization with the application of an external electric field, which is persistent upon removal of the applied field, and...

  • 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...

  • Process development and modeling of thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Hong, David
    Abstract:
    A class of high-performance thin-film transistor (TFT) channel materials has emerged involving oxides composed of heavy-metal cations (HMCs) with (n-1)d¹⁰ns⁰ (n≥4) electronic configurations. This thesis is devoted to the pursuit of three topics involving the development of these materials for TFT applications: modeling TFT currentvoltage characteristics, an exploratory method for...

  • 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...

  • Development of zinc tin oxide-based transparent thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Chiang, Hai Q.
    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis involves development of highly transparent, n-channel, accumulation- mode thin-film transistors employing a zinc tin oxide (ZTO) channel layer. ZTO-based transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) show improved device performance compared to ZnO-based TTFTs. An estimated peak effective mobility for these devices as high as ~100 cm² V⁻¹sec⁻¹...

  • Development, fabrication, and characterization of transparent electronic devices

    Creator:
    Hoffman, Randy L.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to provide an initial demonstration of the feasibility of constructing highly transparent active electronic devices. Such a demonstration is successfully achieved in the fabrication of ZnO-based thin film transistors (TFTs) exhibiting transparency greater than ~90% in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum and...

    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of p-type materials for transparent electronics applications. Thin films of ®-BaCu2S2, a p-type semi-transparent semiconductor, are fabricated and characterized. ®-BaCu2S2 has a transmittance of 60% to 80 % in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum.

    Abstract:
    The focus of this thesis is the investigation of thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) in two circuit applications. To date, circuits implemented with AOS-based TFTs have been primarily enhancement-enhancement inverters, ring oscillators based on these inverters operating at peak frequencies up to ~400 kHz, and two-transistor...
