  • 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,...

  • 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...

  • Amorphous metal thin films as a platform for solution processing

    Creator:
    Landau, Nicholas P.
    Abstract:
    The research presented herein represents an effort to combine the ultra-smooth surface of an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) with a solution-processed dielectric synthesized via prompt inorganic condensation (PIC). Analysis of dielectric film quality is carried out via electrical measurements of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes. Anneals at 500 and 700 °C...

  • 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...

  • SPICE modeling of ACTFEL devices and OLEDs

    Creator:
    Bender, Jeffrey P.
    Abstract:
    The achievements of this thesis are the development of several models for the SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuit Emphasis) simulation of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices, organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs), and polymer light-emitting devices (PLEDs). First, an ACTFEL model based on the built-in HSPICE Fowler-Nordheim tunneling diode is developed,...

  • Assessment of High Mobility Oxide Thin-Film Transistors

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The trend towards higher resolution, faster refresh rate active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) as well as the emergence of active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is driving the demand for amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (AOS TFTs) with higher mobility. A physics-based model for carrier transport in an amorphous semiconductor is...

    Creator:
    Stewart, Kevin A.
    Abstract:
    The aim of the research undertaken for this thesis was to develop a new high-performance amorphous oxide semiconductor (AOS) for use as a channel layer in a thin-film transistor (TFT). AOS TFTs offer higher electron mobility than the established amorphous silicon based technology. A new channel material comprised of aluminum...

  • ACTFEL device simulation with impact ionization using a two-sheet charge model

    Creator:
    Bouchard, Anthony F.
    Abstract:
    The main achievement of this thesis is the development of a two-sheet charge simulation model with space charge creation by trap-to-band impact ionization to describe the electrical characteristics of alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices. The two-sheet charge model localizes all of the space charge in the phosphor region of an...
