Daugherty and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films and nanostructures have received extensive attention as important materials for various applications in field-effect transistors, gas sensors, dye-sensitized solar cell, and ultraviolet photodetectors. Thermal transport methods are some of the most common synthesis methods, due perhaps to the relative simplicity of the experimental setup which involves a temperature-controlled tube furnace and pure Zn as starting material. Thin films and nanostructures with various morphologies and sizes can be obtained using this method and varying experimental parameters such as synthesis temperature, air or oxygen flow rate, morphology of Zn sources, position of substrate, etc. So far, most researchers have used quasi-empirical methods to determine the optimum growth conditions for specific ZnO morphologies. The purpose of this research is to use computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to understand the influence of thermal evaporation parameters (furnace temperature, gas flow, substrate position) on the morphology and size of ZnO nanostructures. ZnO synthesis was performed under controlled conditions and the products were analyzed via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. The process was then simulated numerically using two- and three-dimensional models in ANSYS Fluent 16.1.0 software.

Download or read book Investigation of Oxide Semiconductor Based Thin Films written by Meena Suhanya Rajachidambaram and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 130 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nanostructured ZnO films were obtained via thermal oxidation of thin films formed with metallic Zn-nanoparticle dispersions. Commercial zinc nanoparticles used for this work were characterized by microscopic and thermal analysis methods to analyze the Zn-ZnO core shell structure, surface morphology and oxidation characteristics. These dispersions were spin-coated on SiO2/Si substrates and then annealed in air between 100 and 600 °C. Significant nanostructural changes were observed for the resulting films, particularly those from larger Zn nanoparticles. These nanostructures, including nanoneedles and nanorods, were likely formed due to fracturing of ZnO outer shell due to differential thermal expansion between the Zn core and the ZnO shell. At temperatures above 227 °C, the metallic Zn has a high vapor pressure leading to high mass transport through these defects. Ultimately the Zn vapor rapidly oxidizes in air to form the ZnO nanostructures. We have found that the resulting films annealed above 400 °C had high electrical resistivity. The zinc nanoparticles were incorporated into zinc indium oxide solution and spin-coated to form thin film transistor (TFT) test structures to evaluate the potential of forming nanostructured field effect sensors using simple solution processing. The functionalization of zinc tin oxide (ZTO) films with self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) of n-hexylphosphonic acid (n-HPA) was investigated. The n-HPA modified ZTO surfaces were characterized using contact angle measurement, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and electrical measurements. High contact angles were obtained suggesting high surface coverage of n-HPA on the ZTO films, which was also confirmed using XPS. The impact of n-HPA functionalization on the stability of ZTO TFTs was investigated. The n-HPA functionalized ZTO TFTs were either measured directly after drying or after post-annealing at 140 °C for 48 hours in flowing nitrogen. Their electrical characteristics were compared with that of non-functionalized ZTO reference TFTs fabricated using identical conditions. We found that the non-functionalized devices had a significant turn-on voltage (V[subscript ON]) shift of ~0.9 V and ~1.5 V for the non-annealed and the post-annealed conditions under positive gate bias stress for 10,000 seconds. The n-HPA modified devices showed very minimal shift in V[subscript ON] (0.1 V), regardless of post-thermal treatment. The VON instabilities were attributed to the interaction of species from the ambient atmosphere with the exposed ZTO back channel during gate voltage stress. These species can either accept or donate electrons resulting in changes in the channel conductance with respect to the applied stress.
