  • An n-sheet, state-space ACTFEL device model

    Creator:
    Hitt, John C.
    Abstract:
    The objective of the research presented in this thesis is to develop, implement, and demonstrate the utility of an n-sheet, state-space alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) device model. In this model, the phosphor layer is discretized into n + 1 layers, with band-to-band impact ionization, space charge creation/ annihilation, and luminescent...

  • Thermally-stable amorphous metal thin films

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Amorphous metal thin films (AMTFs) are of potential use for metal-insulator-metal (MIM) tunnel diode applications due to their ultra-smooth surfaces, a consequence of their amorphous microstructure. The objective of this thesis is to design a thermally-stable AMTF capable of maintaining MIM tunnel diode performance after a post-deposition anneal in excess...

  • Capacitance-voltage analysis, SPICE modeling, and aging studies of AC thin-film electroluminescent devices

    Creator:
    Davidson, James D. (James Douglas), 1960-
    Abstract:
    Alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices are metal-insulator-semiconductorinsulator- metal (MISIM) structures which emit light under high field, pulsed excitation. One aspect of ACTFEL operation that is not well understood is the aging of such devices with operating time. One of the primary goals of this thesis is to characterize the kinetics...

  • Development of Amorphous Metal Thin Films for Thermal Inkjet Printing and Microelectronics

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Due to a lack of grain boundaries, an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) possesses advantageous mechanical properties and enhanced chemical stability that is potentially useful for thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing applications. The use of an AMTF as a TIJ resistor or cavitation plate could lead to a thinner TIJ cavitation...

  • 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...

  • Diamond-like carbon films for electroluminescent applications

    Creator:
    Kim, Seung-bae
    Abstract:
    White electroluminescence (EL) was observed for the first time from diamond-like carbon (DLC) films at room temperature. Electroluminescence was observed by the application of ac voltages in excess of 200 V to a metal-insulator- semiconductor (i.e. DLC)-insulator-metal (MISIM) device structure. For EL applications, three types of the DLC films were...

  • 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,...

  • 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...

    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...
