Metallization strategies for In2O3-based amorphous oxide semiconductor materials
Amorphous oxide semiconductors based on indium oxide [e.g., In–Zn–O (IZO) and In–Ga–Zn–O (IGZO)] are of interest for use in thin-film transistor (TFT) applications. We report that the stability of amorphous In–Zn–O (a-IZO) used in TFT applications depends, in part, on the metallization materials used to form the source and drain contacts. A thermodynamics-based approach to the selection of IZO ...
متن کاملElectronic structure of amorphous indium oxide transparent conductors
Using empirical atomistic simulations and density functional theory DFT , we examine the atomic and electronic structure of pureand tin-doped indium oxide in various degrees of amorphisation. Atomic structures ranging from maximally amorphous within fixed periodic boundary conditions to fully crystalline are prepared using liquid-quench molecular dynamics simulations in which the cooling/quench...
متن کاملOxide Based Thermoelectric Materials for Large Scale Power Generation
The thermoelectric (TE) devices are based on the Seebeck and Peltier effects, which describe the conversion between temperature gradient and electricity. The effectiveness of the material performance can be described by its figure of merit, ZT, which is defined as ZT = T , where a is the Seebeck coefficient of the material, a is the electrical conductivity and K is the total thermal conductivit...
متن کاملZirconium oxide-aluminum oxide nanolaminate gate dielectrics for amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors
The dielectric properties of ZrO2–Al2O3 nanolaminates, deposited via atomic layer deposition, and their impact on the performance and stability of indium gallium zinc oxide and zinc tin oxide amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors TFTs are investigated. It is found that nanolaminate dielectrics can combine the advantages of constituent dielectrics and produce TFTs with improved per...
متن کاملPorous Thermoelectric Materials
Thermoelectric materials are sometimes prepared using a sintering process in which the achievement of a high density is often one of the objectives. However, it has recently been shown that the introduction of a highly porous material is desirable in synthetic transverse thermoelements. Porosity may also be an advantage in conventional longitudinal thermoelectric modules in which a high thermal...
