Thin sputter deposited gold films on In2O3:Sn, SnO2:In, TiO2 and glass: Optical, electrical and structural effects

Reduction of the interfacial trap density of indium-oxide thin film transistors by incorporation of hafnium and annealing process

“…Thin film transistors based on amorphous oxide films (OxTFTs) have attracted tremendous interest as TFT backplanes in active-matrix organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and liquid crystal displays owing to their high mobilities. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7] Intensive developments on oxide compounds including InO x -based, [8][9][10][11][12][13] ZnO x -based, 14 SnO x -based 15 and mixed channel materials such as InZnO x -based OxTFTs [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25] have been widely studied in OxTFTs in recent decades because of their excellent electrical stabilities and high mobilities. Among them, InGaZnO (IGZO) 1,2,26 and InSnZnO (ITZO) 18,19 are currently being developed for use as commercial TFT backplanes because of their superior properties and high electron mobilities.…”

Characterization of gold nanoparticle films: Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy with image analysis, and atomic force microscopy

“…Film formation depends on substrate material and deposition conditions, as investigated in earlier work of ours. [12][13][14] Furthermore, detailed knowledge of the substrate is required for RBS analysis, especially for determining accurate values of d m , since the signal from the substrate is crucial for normalization of the number of atomic species incident onto the RBS detector. Specifically, we used 1-mm-thick plates of glass (standard microscope slides, supplied by Thermo Scientific, UK).…”

Detailed Spectroscopic and Structural Analysis of TiO2/WO3 Composite Semiconductors

“…e implementation of nanomaterials in the industry had a major role in the blooming research of nanomaterials. One of these nanomaterials is tungsten trioxide (WO 3 ), a transition metal oxide with large applicability spectra that is commonly used in paints as pigment [1], in solar cells for electricity production [2,3], and in coatings for heat production from absorbing solar energy [4], such as humidity, moisture, and gas sensors [5][6][7]. is oxide is also an important component in "smart windows" due to its electrochromic properties [8].…”
