Download or read book Zinc Oxide Thin Film Transistors written by Divine Khan Ngwashi and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-05 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transparent oxide semiconducting films have continued to receive considerable attention, from a fundamental and application-based point of view, primarily because of their useful fundamental properties. Of particular interest is zinc oxide (ZnO), an n-type semiconductor that exhibits excellent optical, electrical, catalytic and gas-sensing properties, and has many applications in various fields. In this work, thin film transistor (TFT) arrays based on ZnO have been prepared by reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. The sputtering process was carried out at room temperature with no intentional heating. The aim of this is to prepare ZnO thin films with stable semiconducting electrical properties to be used as the active channel in TFTs; and to understand the role of intrinsic point defects in device performance and stability. The effect of oxygen (O2) adsorption on TFT device characteristics is also investigated. TFTs incorporating silicon dioxide, and different high-k dielectrics are also investigated.

Book Development of Zinc Tin Oxide based Transparent Thin film Transistors

Download or read book Development of Zinc Tin Oxide based Transparent Thin film Transistors written by Hai Q. Chiang and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The focus of this thesis involves development of highly transparent, n-channel, accumulation- mode thin-film transistors employing a zinc tin oxide (ZTO) channel layer. ZTO-based transparent thin-film transistors (TTFTs) show improved device performance compared to ZnO-based TTFTs. An estimated peak effective mobility for these devices as high as ~100 cm2 V−1sec−1 has been observed, although effective mobilities in the range of 20-50 cm2V−1sec−1 are more common. This performance inconsistency may be due, in part, to the large device dimensions employed in developmental test structures and/or to shadow mask misalignment. Typical drain current on-to-off ratios are> 106. Variation in the post-deposition annealing cycle is found to be an effective means to control the threshold voltage and to improve device performance. Optical characterization of these devices indicates ~84% transparency in the visible spectrum as viewed through the source/drain. Another aspect of this thesis research involves the utilization and extension of quantitative polycrystalline TFT device models with the intention of guiding the design and optimization of future TFTs. In particular, subthreshold conduction is assessed in order to estimate the bulk (and/or grain boundary) and interface trap densities. This leads to a consideration of threshold voltage and channel mobility extraction, as well as establishment of the turn-on voltage, V[subscript turn-on] Finally, a third aspect of this thesis research involves a new radio-frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering system, custom-designed and constructed at OSU by Chris Tasker. Contributions to the development of this tool include assisting in the design and implementation of the computer-controlled interlocks utilized for operation of the tool. The experimental flexibility of this new tool is discussed with respect to its applicability in the design and fabrication of future TTFTS.

Book Transparent Electronics

Download or read book Transparent Electronics written by Antonio Facchetti and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2010-03-25 with total page 470 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The challenge for producing “invisible” electronic circuitry and opto-electronic devices is that the transistor materials must be transparent to visible light yet have good carrier mobilities. This requires a special class of materials having “contra-indicated properties” because from the band structure point of view, the combination of transparency and conductivity is contradictory. Structured to strike a balance between introductory and advanced topics, this monograph juxtaposes fundamental science and technology / application issues, and essential materials characteristics versus device architecture and practical applications. The first section is devoted to fundamental materials compositions and their properties, including transparent conducting oxides, transparent oxide semiconductors, p-type wide-band-gap semiconductors, and single-wall carbon nanotubes. The second section deals with transparent electronic devices including thin-film transistors, photovoltaic cells, integrated electronic circuits, displays, sensors, solar cells, and electro-optic devices. Describing scientific fundamentals and recent breakthroughs such as the first “invisible” transistor, Transparent Electronics: From Synthesis to Applications brings together world renowned experts from both academia, national laboratories, and industry.

Book Oxide Thin Film Transistors

Download or read book Oxide Thin Film Transistors written by K. J. Saji and published by Nova Science Publishers. This book was released on 2017 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transparent flexible electronics is an emerging technology which makes use of wide band gap semiconductors that can be processed at low temperatures on glass or plastic substrates. Electronic systems that cover large area and curved surfaces together with transparency bring the possibility of numerous applications that are outside the scope of rigid wafer based electronics. Flexible electronics, electronic textiles, a wearable wellness system, and sensory skin are some of the applications of flexible electronics. The key factor in the realization of transparent electronics is the development of high performance fully transparent thin film transistors. Thin film transistors (TFTs) based on transparent conducting amorphous oxide semiconductors (TAOS) such as InGaZnO (IGZO), zinc tin oxide (ZTO), zinc indium tin oxide (ZITO), etc. provide additional functionalities like transparency, high field effect mobility and potential for room temperature processing. The performance of these TAOS based TFTs are superior to their silicon (a-Si:H TFTs) and organic TFTs.Though there are monographs and books on a-Si:H TFTs and organic TFTs, a book on TAOS based TFTs is rare. This book introduces the work of graduate students and beginners to the field of amorphous semiconductors. The mass production of this kind of TFTs on large area substrates involves the complications associated with controlling the composition of oxide compound semiconductor thin film material. Pulsed laser deposition allows for the growth of an oxide semiconductor in a very high oxygen rich environment while co-sputtering is an effective technique for the growth of a multicomponent film and to control the film chemical composition in a systematic and easy way. These manufacturing aspects will be of interest to those working in the industry. The review on the n channel, p channel TFTs, and the detailed description for the extraction of various TFT parameters like the threshold voltage, field effect mobility, sub threshold slope and on-off ratio, etc. will be ready for those working in the field of transparent electronics.

Book An Investigation of the Performance and Stability of Zinc Oxide Thin film Transistors and the Role of High k Dielectrics

Download or read book An Investigation of the Performance and Stability of Zinc Oxide Thin film Transistors and the Role of High k Dielectrics written by Ngwashi Divine Khan and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transparent oxide semiconducting films have continued to receive considerable attention, from a fundamental and application-based point of view, primarily because of their useful fundamental properties. Of particular interest is zinc oxide (ZnO), an n-type semiconductor that exhibits excellent optical, electrical, catalytic and gas-sensing properties, and has many applications in various fields. In this work, thin film transistor (TFT) arrays based on ZnO have been prepared by reactive radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering. Prior to the TFT fabrication, ZnO layers were sputtered on to glass and silicon substrates, and the deposition parameters optimised for electrical resistivities suitable for TFT applications. The sputtering process was carried out at room temperature with no intentional heating. The aim of this work is to prepare ZnO thin films with stable semiconducting electrical properties to be used as the active channel in TFTs; and to understand the role of intrinsic point defects in device performance and stability. The effect of oxygen (O2) adsorption on TFT device characteristics is also investigated. The structural quality of the material (defect type and concentration), electrical and optical properties (transmission/absorption) of semiconductor materials are usually closely correlated. Using the Vienna ab-initio simulation package (VASP), it is predicted that O2 adsorption may influence film transport properties only within a few atomic layers beneath the adsorption site. These findings were exploited to deposit thin films that are relatively stable in atmospheric ambient with improved TFT applications. TFTs incorporating the optimised layer were fabricated and demonstrated very impressive performance metrics, with effective channel mobilities as high as 30 cm2/V-1s-1, on-off current ratios of 107 and sub-threshold slopes of 0.9? 3.2 V/dec. These were found to be dependent on film thickness (~15? 60 nm) and the underlying dielectric (silicon dioxide (SiO2), gadolinium oxide (Gd2O3), yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and hafnium oxide (HfO2)). In this work, prior to sputtering the ZnO layer (using a ZnO target of 99.999 % purity), the sputtering chamber was evacuated to a base pressure ~4 x 10-6 Torr. Oxygen (O2) and argon (Ar) gas (with O2/Ar ratio of varying proportions) were then pumped into the chamber and the deposition process optimised by varying the RF power between 25 and 500 W and the O2/Ar ratio between 0.010 to 0.375. A two-level factorial design technique was implemented to test specific parameter combinations (i.e. RF power and O2/Ar ratio) and then statistical analysis was utilised to map out the responses. The ZnO films were sputtered on glass and silicon substrates for transparency and resistivity measurements, and TFT fabrication respectively. For TFT device fabrication, ZnO films were deposited onto thermally-grown silicon dioxide (SiO2) or a high-k dielectric layer (HfO2, Gd2O3 and Y2O3) deposited by a metal-organic chemical deposition (MOCVD) process. Also, by using ab initio simulation as implemented in the?Vienna ab initio simulation package (VASP)?, the role of oxygen adsorption on the electrical stability of ZnO thin film is also investigated. The results indicate that O2 adsorption on ZnO layers could modify both the electronic density of states in the vicinity of the Fermi level and the band gap of the film. This study is complemented by studying the effects of low temperature annealing in air on the properties of ZnO films. It is speculated that O2 adsorption/desorption at low temperatures (150? 350 0C) induces variations in the electrical resistance, band gap and Urbach energy of the film, consistent with the trends predicted from DFT results.
