  • Novel ACTFEL phosphor development

    Creator:
    Ang, Wie Ming
    Abstract:
    The goal of this thesis is to identify and to explore novel ACTFEL phosphor materials. Several important materials properties relevant to ACTFEL phosphor development are identified. All of these properties cannot be obtained simultaneously. Therefore, several key phosphor materials properties are identified as critical to the development of an ACTFEL...

  • Manufacture and characterization of novel ACTFEL materials and devices

    Creator:
    Bender, Jeffrey P.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this dissertation is to develop non-traditional approaches to alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device fabrication. ACTFEL technology suffers from a lack of adequately bright and efficient primary-color phosphors and cannot presently compete in the low-cost display market. Therefore the research presented in this dissertation focuses on an exploration...

  • Characterization of organic light-emitting devices

    Creator:
    Norris, Benjamin J.
    Abstract:
    In this thesis steady-state (i.e. steady-state with respect to the applied voltage waveform) transient current-transient voltage [i(t)-v(t)], transient brightness-transient current [b(t)-i(t)], transient brightness-transient voltage [b(t)-v(t)], transient current [i(t)], transient brightness [b(t)], and detrapped charge analysis are introduced as novel organic light emitting device (OLED) characterization methods. These analysis methods involve...

  • Oxide phosphors deposited by activated reactive evaporation for ACTFEL device applications

    Creator:
    Yokoyama, Tomoe
    Abstract:
    The goal of this thesis study is to develop an activated reactive evaporation (ARE) system and to demonstrate its utility by fabricating-alternating current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) oxide phosphor devices. ARE entails evaporation in an activated gas. The main ARE system components are three thermal evaporation sources, a microwave power supply,...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Active matrix electroluminescent device power considerations

    Creator:
    Beck, Douglas
    Abstract:
    An active-matrix electroluminescent (AMEL) design tool has been developed for the simulation of AMEL display devices. The AMEL design tool is a software package that simulates AMEL device operation using a lumped parameter circuit model. The lumped parameter circuit model is developed primarily to address AMEL power dissipation issues. The...

  • 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...

  • Instability and temperature-dependence assessment of IGZO TFTs

    Creator:
    Hoshino, Ken
    Abstract:
    Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) are of great current interest for thin-film transistor (TFT) channel layer applications. In particular, indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO) is under intense development for commercial applications because of its demonstrated high performance at low processing temperatures. The objective of the research presented in this thesis is...
