  • Modeling phosphor space charge in alternating-current thin-film electroluminescent devices

    Creator:
    Keir, Paul D.
    Abstract:
    The accomplishments presented in this thesis are the development of three models for simulation of space charge generation in the phosphor layer of alternating current thin-film electroluminescent (ACTFEL) devices and the results from simulation of these models. First, a single sheet charge model is developed and simulated. The single sheet...

  • 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...

  • 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...

    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...

  • 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...

  • 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...
