  • Discrete trap modeling of thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Yerubandi, Ganesh Chakravarthy
    Abstract:
    A discrete trap model is developed and employed for elucidation of thin-film transistor (TFT) device physics trends. An attractive feature of this model is that only two model parameters are required, the trap energy depth, E[subscript T], and the trap density, N[subscript T]. The most relevant trends occur when E[subscript...

  • 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...

  • Inorganic thin-film solar cells

    Creator:
    Spies, Jack Alexander
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of this thesis is to explore new absorber and p-type window layer materials for thin-film solar cell applications. A new thin-film electron beam deposition system has been installed, is now operational, and has been used to deposit several types of solar cell absorber layers. Material investigations include...

  • Development of high efficiency solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Ravichandran, Ram
    Abstract:
    Current cadmium telluride and copper indium gallium diselenide thin-film solar cells (TFSCs) utilize thick absorbers (2 - 4 μm). For efficient carrier extraction in these TFSCs, the absorber layer requires high carrier mobilities and a long minority carrier lifetime, which necessitates the use of a high purity, defect-free thin film....

  • Improved stability in ACTFEL devices

    Creator:
    Khormaei, Iranpour
    Abstract:
    The stability of ZnS:Mn AC thin film Electroluminescence (ACEFEL) devices as demonstrated by the brightness-voltage (BV) characteristics is discussed. Two procedures for improvement of the stability are demonstrated. The first method is the addition of a CaS buffer layer to one or both interfaces of the ZnS active phosphor layer....

    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...

    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...

  • 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...
