  • Investigation of ultra-thin In-Ga-Zn-O thin-film transistors

    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...

  • Al-In-Sn-O thin-film transistors

    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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Instabilities in InP MIS capacitors

    Creator:
    Juang, Min Tzuan
    Abstract:
    The drain current of InP MISPETs is often observed to decrease as a function of time after the application of a positive gate bias which involves an accumulation of electrons in the channel. Various models have been proposed for this drain current drift (DCD) phenomenon. In this thesis, variable-temperature bias-stress...

  • Surface recombination velocity and bulk lifetime in GaAs and InP

    Creator:
    Rastegar, Bahador
    Abstract:
    An analytical expression is derived which allows the bulk minority carrier recombination lifetime, t, and the surface recombination velocity, S, to be extracted from a single noncontact photoconductivity decay (PCD) measurement. This analytical expression is rather complex, but can be reduced to a first order approximation. The first order approximation...

  • 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....

  • A study of deep levels of AlGaAs/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors

    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...
