  • 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 oxide semiconductors : materials, devices, and integration

    Creator:
    Chiang, Hai Q.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this dissertation is to develop oxide semiconductors by radio-frequency sputtering for thin-film transistor (TFT) applications. A variety of oxide semiconductors are used as the TFT channel layer, including indium gallium oxide (IGO), zinc tin oxide (ZTO), and indium gallium zinc oxide (IGZO). The variety of materials used...

  • Thin-film transistors with amorphous oxide channel layers

    Creator:
    Grover, Manan S.
    Abstract:
    In recent years, a new class of high-performance thin-film transistors (TFTs) has emerged comprising amorphous oxide channel materials composed of heavy-metal cations (HMCs) with (n-1)d¹⁰ns⁰ (n ≥ 4, where 'n' refers to the row of the periodic table) electronic configuration. This thesis is devoted to the fabrication and characterization of...

  • Contact resistance and stability assessment of oxide-based thin film transistors

    Creator:
    Hung, Celia M.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of oxide-based thin-film transistors (TFTs), contact resistance and instability assessment. First, determination of the contact resistance of indium tin oxide (ITO) on two wide-band gap semiconductors, zinc oxide (ZnO) and indium gallium oxide (IGO), is attempted and the effects of contact resistance on device...

  • Transparent electronics : thin-film transistors and integrated circuits

    Creator:
    Presley, Rick E.
    Abstract:
    This thesis focuses on two aspects of transparent electronics, SnO₂ transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) and transparent circuits. Both depletion- and enhancement-mode SnO₂ TTFTs are realized. The maximum effective mobility for the depletion- and enhancement-mode devices are 2 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹ and 0.8 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, respectively. A variety of techniques to decrease the carrier...

  • 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...
