A novel method of fabricating ZnO/diamond/Si multilayers for surface acoustic wave (SAW) device applications

Structural and electrical properties of ZnO films on freestanding thick diamond films

“…Recently, much attention has been paid to high quality piezoelectric ZnO films for SAW devices with operation frequencies higher than 1 GHz, whereas even greater frequencies (superior to 2.5 GHz) tend to push the limits of conventional photolithography [8] . The use of ZnO based on diamond as SAW substrates [8][9][10][11][12][13][14] offers an attractive means for relaxation of the lithographic criteria since diamond has the highest stiff coefficient and sound velocity. SAW devices have been reported based on ZnO/ diamond/Si layered structures with a diamond layer of 10-100 μm deposited by chemical vapour deposition (CVD) technique [9][10][11][12][13][14] .…”

Synthesis and characterization of flower like ZnO nanorods for dye-sensitized solar cells

“…It has used in many applications such as photodetectors, gas sensors, light emitting diodes, surface acoustic wave devices, optical switches and dye sensitized solar cells [1][2][3][4][5][6]. ZnO shows higher electronic mobility and similar energy level as that of the conduction band of TiO 2 which makes ZnO a capable material to be used as a photoelectrode material for the fabrication of efficient dye sensitized solar cells.…”

Lattice Parameter of Polycrystalline Diamond in the Low-Temperature Range

“…Polycrystalline diamond is also reported to be applicable in electrocatalysis [5] and to be suitable for neutron filters [6], heatspreaders [7], for construction of surface acoustic wave devices [8], for radiation dosimetry [9], or for electrochemical detection of trace substances [10].…”
