Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Polycrystalline and Amorphous Thin Films and Devices is a compilation of papers that discusses the electronic, optical, and physical properties of thin material layers and films. This compilation reviews the different applications of thin films of various materials used as protective and optical coatings, thermal transfer layers, and selective membranes from submicron- area VLSI memory units to large-area energy conservation devices. Some papers discuss the basic properties, such as growth, structure, electrical, and optical mechanisms that are encountered in amorphous and polycrystalline thin semiconductor films. For example, experiments on electronic structure of dislocations have led to a model for the intrinsic properties of grain boundaries in polycrystalline semiconductor thin films that can have an impact on the designs of high-efficiency, thin-film solar cells. Other papers review the problems encountered in these thin layers in active semiconductor devices and passive technologies. Techniques in film growth and control variables of source, substrate temperature, and substrate properties will determine the successful performance of the devices installed with these thin film layers. This compilation can prove valuable for chemists, materials engineers, industrial technologists, and researchers in thin-film technology.

This book was released on 1998-10-23 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Physics of Thin Films is one of the longest running continuing series in thin film science, consisting of 25 volumes since 1963. The series contains quality studies of the properties of various thin films materials and systems. In order to be able to reflect the development of today's science and to cover all modern aspects of thin films, the series, starting with Volume 20, has moved beyond the basic physics of thin films. It now addresses the most important aspects of both inorganic and organic thin films, in both their theoretical as well as technological aspects. Therefore, in order to reflect the modern technology-oriented problems, the title has been slightly modified from Physics of Thin Films to Thin Films. This volume, part of the Thin Films Series, has been wholly written by two authors instead of showcasing several edited manuscripts.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The INFOS 81 Conference on Insulating Films on Semiconductors was held at the University of Erlangen-NUrnberg in Erlangen from 27 to 29 April 1981. This conference was a sequel to the first conference INFOS 79 held in Durham. INFOS 81 attracted 170 participants from universities, research institutes and industry. Attendants were registered from 15 nations. The biannual topical conference series will be continued by INFOS 83 to be held in Eindhoven, The Netherlands, in April 1983. The conference proceedings include all the invited (Y) and contrlDUtea (42) papers presented at the meeting. The topics range from the basic physical understanding of the properties of insulating films and their interface to semiconductors to the discussion of stability and dielectric strength as well as growing and deposition techniques which are relevant for technical applications. Strong emphasis was given to the semiconductor silicon and its native oxide; however, sessions on compound semiconductors and other insulating films also raised strong interest. The proceedings survey the present state of our understanding of the system of insulating films on semiconductors. As a new aspect of the topic, the properties of semiconductors deposited and laser processed on insulating films was in cluded for the first time.

This book was released on 2009 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Copper based delafossite transparent semiconducting oxide thin films have recently gained tremendous interest in the field of optoelectronic technology, after the discovery of p-type conductivity in a transparent thin film of copper aluminium oxide (CuAlO2). Most of the well-known and widely used transparent conducting oxide thin films such as ZnO, SnO2, ITO etc. and their doped versions are n-type material, but corresponding p-type transparent conducting oxides were surprisingly missing for a long time until the fabrication of above-mentioned p-CuAlO2 thin film have been published (Nature 1997, 389, 939). This has opened up a new field in opto-electronics device technology, the so-called "Transparent Electronics", where a combination of the two types of transparent conducting oxides in the form of a p-n junction could lead to a 'functional' window, which transmits visible portion of solar radiation yet generates electricity by the absorption of UV part of it. Non-stoichiometric and doped versions of various new types of p-type transparent conducting oxides with improved optical and electrical properties have been synthesised in the last few years in this direction. Wide range of deposition techniques have been adopted to prepare the films. But fabrication of device quality films by cost-effective deposition techniques such as sputtering, chemical vapour deposition, wet-chemical dip-coating technique etc. are the need of the hour for large-scale production of these films for diverse device applications. Here the authors have discussed the fabrication and opto-electrical characterisation of p-CuAlO2+x thin films by cost-effective and scalable deposition routes such as sputtering and wet-chemical dip-coating technique. The authors have also discussed briefly some of the new developments in the field of p-type transparent conducting oxide thin film technology and an up-to-date and comprehensive description of different Cu-based p-type transparent conducting oxide thin films is presented. Also the origin of p-type conductivity in these transparent oxides has been dealt with considerable attention. Fabrication of all-transparent junctions is also discussed which is most important in the development of 'Transparent Electronics'. Field emission properties of thin films are currently of much interest due to the potential application in field emission displays (FEDs), which are considered to be strong candidate for low-power panel applications. The low-threshold field emission properties of wide-bandgap CuAlO2 thin films have been investigated for its potential applications in FED technology. The films showed considerable low turn-on field. This finding might open up a new direction in the field-emission technology, and a new group of materials (such as, different transparent conducting oxides) might become a promising candidate for low-threshold field emitter. Also, recently, the research on nanostructured materials generates great interest in the scientific community and offers tremendous opportunities in the field of science and technology. Here, the authors have also discussed in brief, the formation of nanocrystalline p-CuAlO2 films, which may open up an extremely important and interesting field of research for the fabrication of all-transparent nano-active devices. This will not only give a new dimension in the field of 'Transparent Electronics', but new avenues may open up in the nanoparticle research keeping an eye on its tremendous applications in optoelectronics technology.
