  • Fabrication and characterization of thin-film transistor materials and devices

    Creator:
    Hong, David
    Abstract:
    A class of inorganic thin-film transistor (TFT) semiconductor materials has emerged involving oxides composed of post-transitional cations with (n-1)d¹⁰ns⁰ (n≥4) electronic configurations. This thesis is devoted to the pursuit of topics involving the development of these materials for TFT applications: Deposition of zinc oxide and zinc tin oxide semiconductor layers...

  • Modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Spiegelberg, Matthew Craig
    Abstract:
    The primary focus of this thesis involves modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors (p-TFTs), moving towards the realization of a filly transparent thin-film transistor (TTFT). The modeling portion of this thesis emphasizes the development of physics-based TFT models, specifically focusing on the elucidation of non-ideal current-voltage characteristic behavior. A...

  • 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...

  • Low-cost deposition methods for transparent thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Norris, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this dissertation is to introduce low-cost processing methods for the fabrication of ZnO transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs). A novel method for depositing ZnO body layers via spin-coating of a zinc nitrate-based spin solution is presented. The processing conditions of spin-coated ZnO are optimized to produce continuous and...

  • Investigation of ultra-thin In-Ga-Zn-O thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Chiang, Tsung-Han
    Abstract:
    The objective of the work reported herein is to explore the impact of decreasing channel thickness on radio-frequency (RF) sputtered amorphous indium-gallium-zinc oxide (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) electrical performance through the evaluation of drain current versus gate voltage (I[subscript D] − V[subscript G]) transfer curves. For a fixed set of...

  • p-type transparent electronics

    Creator:
    Valencia, Melinda Marie
    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. The mobility, conductivity,...

  • 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...

  • Nontraditional amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistor fabrication

    Creator:
    Sundholm, Eric Steven
    Abstract:
    Fabrication techniques and process integration considerations for amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) thin-film transistors (TFTs) constitute the central theme of this dissertation. Within this theme three primary areas of focus are pursued. The first focus involves formulating a general framework for assessing passivation. Avoiding formation of an undesirable backside accumulation layer...
