▼ In the MEMS process, a thin
film is likely to be coated on a substrate. Residual stress is established in the coating upon cooling to room temperature because thermal expansion coefficients of the thin
film and the substrate are different. The residual stress in the coating not only causes bending but also affects the quality of coating. This thesis discusses the relationship of the residual stress and its distribution with the parameters of the process and the thickness of the ITO thin
film that is coated on the Si-substrate.
Four parameters of coating process - coating time, sputtering power, working pressure, and argon flow rate â are considered here. In the experiment, each parameter is set to one of three levels, consistent with the Taguchi Method, yielding nine combinations. For each of the nine combinations, three Si-substrates are used. Measurements are made at nine points on each Si-substrate. Two sets of the in-plane displacement of the coating from two different angles of the screen can be measured by using digital image correlation technique. The obtained sets of in-plane displacements can be used to calculate the out-of-plane displacement, the components of residual stress in the x-direction and the y-direction can be calculated using the modified Stoneyâs equation. The equivalent residual stress is calculated from these components of residual stresses, and the coefficient of variation is calculated from the average and standard deviation of the equivalent residual stress at the nine points on the Si-substrate. Finally, the distribution of residual stress in coating is discussed with reference to the experimentally obtained coefficient of variation.
The experimental results indicate that the coating time and the sputtering power importantly affect the magnitude of residual stress, but the working pressure and the argon flow rate have very little effect. Additionally, the experimental results show that the residual stress distribution is affected by coating time, sputtering power, argon flow rate and working pressure, in order of declining strength of the effect. The coating time most strongly affects the coating process. As the coating thickness increases, the residual stress decreases and the variation among measurements made of three Si-substrates of same combination declines. Restated, the precision of the experimental measurements improves with the coating thickness, but the distribution of residual stress becomes less uniform.

▼ This paper is surrounded by oxygen ions have better adsorption characteristics of
indium tin oxide (ITO) and Transition metal gadolinium used in resistive random access memory (RRAM). Discussion RRAM switching mechanism and improve it.
First, use of multi-target magnetron sputtering system making gadolinium
oxide (Gd2O3) films in Gd: SiO2 /
TiN and covered Pt with top electrode .And comparison with structure Pt / Gd: SiO2 /
TiN. Through measurement in electrical can find that the structure have the buffer layer (Gd2O3) existed limiting effect ,Itâs presumably due to Gdâs outer space has higher orbital . And further found that asymmetric voltage operation, will change the resistance and polarity direction. In the phenomenon can emergence of complementary resistive switching characteristics (CRS).
Then used ITO, which has high transparency and good electrical conductivity and has a lot of oxygen vacancies. Caused it to have a good oxygen ion adsorption. This section will be used as sputtering the electrode ITO on Gd: SiO2 /
TiN. Compare with buffer layer's device and ITO/Gd: SiO2 /
TiN can find ITO/Gd: SiO2 /
TiN has effectively reduce power consumption and operating voltage.
Use Current-Voltage Fitting and found that ITO / Gd: SiO2 /
TiN 's Reset characteristics operation on Schottky emission. Mainly speculate driven by the oxygen ions in electric field to move and switching resistance .Other case of the multi-stage Set characteristics be use Fast IV measurements and fitting the mechanism , presumably the resistance first through in Gd: SiO2 to ITO , and then drive the dielectric coefficient of oxygen ions in ITO layer .
But after placement more than four months, will find that the measurement of I-V curve are significant instability phenomenon. Therefore, this section leads to use of water vapor, oxygen ,and measurement, and then to clarify the current conduction mechanism, so found that the amount of oxygen will affect the barrier height of it and thereby enabling the current characteristics produce change. In order to improve this phenomenon, Si3N4 protective cover layer can be effectively found good stability .
Finally, to the sample with water vapor thermal annealing processes , the operating current of the devices decrease 10 times after Water vapor RTA. Cause by owing to the introduction of oxygen through defects repairing process by H2O. It is possible to reduce the operating current and power consumption.
In order to make the device to have better development and application, this section will sputter device on type of flexible artificial skin , and found low leakage currents resistance switching characteristics.

▼ In this studing, application of the digital image correlation method (DIC) for determining the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of
Indium Tin Oxide/Polyethylene Terephthalate(ITO/PET) thin
film/flexible
substrate was proposed and the effects of thinkness variations of ITO and
PET, respectively, on the CTE of the specimens was disscussed. The
observation range of experimental temperature was chosen from room
temperature to the glass transfer temperature of PET, 70â. A novel DIC
experimental process for reducing the errors caused from the variations of
the refractive index of the surrounding heated air was proposed.
As a result, the experimental error of CTE measurement was reduced form
10~17% to less than 5%. The experimental results showed that the CTE of
ITO/PET specimen is anisotropic. Futhermore, the CTE of an ITO/PET
specimen will be increased by decreasing the thinkness of PET flexible
substrate, and increased by increasing the thinkness of ITO
film - which
means decreasing the surface resistance of ITO
film.

▼ The Li-ion battery has for a number of years been a key factor that has enabled an ever increasing number of modern consumer devices, while in recent years has also been sought to power a range of emerging electric and hybrid electric vehicles. Due to their importance and popularity, a number of characteristics of Li-ion batteries have been subjected to intense work aimed at radical improvement. Although electrode material selection intrinsically defines characteristics like maximum capacity or voltage, engineering of the electrode structure may yield significant improvements to the lifetime performance of the battery, which would not be available if the material was used in its bulk form. The body of work presented in this thesis describes the relationship between the structure of electrochemically active materials and the course of the electrochemical processes occurring within the electrode. Chapter one describes the motivation behind the research presented herein. Chapter two serves to highlight a number of key advancements which have been made and detailed in the literature over recent years, pertaining to the use of nanostructured materials in Li-ion technology. Chapter three details methods and techniques applied in developing the body of work presented in this thesis. Chapter four details structural, molecular and electrochemical characteristics of
tin oxide nanoparticle based electrodes, with particular emphasis on the relationship between the size distribution and the electrode performance. Chapter five presents findings of structural, electrochemical and optical study of
indium oxide nanoparticles grown on silicon by molecular beam epitaxy. In chapter 6,
tin oxide inverted opal electrodes are investigated for the conduct of the electrochemical performance of the electrodes under varying rate of change of potential. Chapter 7 presents the overall conclusions drawn from the results presented in this thesis, coupled with an indication of potential future work which may be explored further.

▼ The primary objective of this thesis is to develop a process for fabricating integrated circuits based on thin-
film transistors (TFTs) using zinc
tin oxide (ZTO) as the channel layer. ZTO, in contrast to
indium- or gallium-based amorphous
oxide semiconductors (AOS), is perceived to be a more commercially viable AOS choice due to its low cost and ability to be deposited via DC reactive sputtering. In the absence of an acceptable ZTO wet etch process, a plasma-etching process using Ar/CH₄ is developed for both 1:1 and 2:1 ZTO compositions. An Ar/CH₄ plasma etch process is also designed for
indium gallium
oxide (IGO),
indium gallium zinc
oxide (IGZO), and
indium tin oxide (ITO). Ar/CH₄ dry etches have excellent selectivity with respect to SiO₂, providing a route for obtaining patterned ZTO channels. A critical asset of ZTO process integration involves removing polymer deposits after ZTO etching without active layer damage.
A ZTO process is developed for the fabrication of integrated circuits which use ZTO channel enhancement-mode TFTs. Such ZTO TFTs exhibit incremental and average mobilities of 23 and 18 cm²V⁻¹s⁻¹, respectively, turn-on voltages approximately 0 to 1.5 V and subthreshold swings below 0.5 V/dec when annealed in air at 400 °C for 1 hour. Several types of ZTO TFT circuits are realized for the first time. Despite large parasitic capacitances due to large gate-source and gate-drain overlaps, AC/DC rectifiers are fabricated and found to operate in the MHz range. Thus, they are usable for RFID and other equivalent-speed applications. Finally, a ZTO process for simultaneously fabricating both enhancement-mode and depletion-mode TFTs on a single substrate using a single target and anneal step is developed. This dual-channel process is used to build a high-gain two-transistor enhancement/depletion inverter. At a rail voltage of 10 V, this inverter has a gain of 10.6 V/V, the highest yet reported for an AOS-based inverter. This E/D inverter is an important new functional block which will enable the realization of more complex digital logic circuits.

▼ Recently, with the advancement of portable electronic products, nonvolatile memories have attracted much attention. In order to increase the capacity and density of nonvolatile memory, the device must be continuously miniaturized. However, with their scaling-down, conventional nonvolatile floating gate memory has reached it physical limits. Hence, the new generations of nonvolatile memories are developed to solve this problem. Resistive random access memory (RRAM) is considered to replace conventional flash memory become a great potential candidates for nest generation nonvolatile memories due to its advantageous properties of simple structure and excellent operation property. We will investigate the resistive switching mechanisms of the InxGayO1-x-y based RRAM and amorphous
indium-gallium-zine-
oxide thin
film transistors (a-IGZO TFTs).
In the first part, we investigated the gallium
oxide based RRAM with different oxygen concentrations since the resistance switching characteristics is related to oxygen ions migration. Moreover, the different resistance switching property is observed and the effective thickness can be estimated. In the second part, we proposed
indium oxide based RRAM devices and investigate the different resistance switching behavior between transient mode and steady mode due to the cross-section area of the conduction path. The
indium oxide based RRAM device exhibit a self-compliance behavior in the material itself due to the variable series resistor. Moreover, we investigated
indium oxide with oxygen concentrations since the resistivity and electrical property of
indium film related to oxygen concentration. The lower self-compliance current can be attributed to larger variable series resistor and the operation current can be reduced effectively from the additional oxygen ions.
In the third part, we design the
indium gallium
oxide based RRAM and observed the two kinds of resistance switching behavior by different operation conditions. The different resistance switching mechanism proportions are demonstrated the oxygen vacancies and metallic filaments by electric property and material analysis. Finally, the a-IGZO TFTs can be operated either as transistors or RRAM device. These resistance switching characteristics are dominated by oxygen vacancies and the formation of an oxygen-rich layer.

▼ In this paper, to investigate organic solar cells optical characteristics of Al / P3HT / PEDOT: PSS /
Indium tin oxide (ITO)/ substrate with different substrates. PET
film, Teflon
film, silicate glass, and low borosilicate glass were fabricated under ambient conditions and measured optical characteristics of organic cell. Using UV-Vis spectrometer measurements with different amount of transmissions of substrate material and the absorption coefficient calculated, and different the hydrophilic and hydrophobic between surface of substrates, and thus to influence the efficiency of organic solar cell. The most effective efficacy of organic solar-cell on borosilicate substrate with parameters was improved, which yields an open-circuit voltage of 0.78V, a short-circuit current density of 1.35E-03mA, a fill factor of 0.13 and a power conversion efficiency of 1.34E-04% under the AM 1.5G illumination of 100 mW/cm2. Its efficiency increased up to quadruple than organic solar-cell on silicate substrate. While the other part to explore, compared efficient with between nanospheres on silicate glass substrate and unpaved nanospheres silicate glass substrate. Sputtered different ITO thickness and when ITO thickness is 125nm, the strongest band in the visible 560nm, have the best transmissions. Such organic solar cells showing the highest power conversion efficiency, which yields an open-circuit voltage of 0.45V, a short-circuit current of 3.54E-03mA, a fill factor of 0.22 and a power conversion efficiency of 3.48E-04% under the AM 1.5G illumination of 100 mW/cm2. Its efficiency increased up to decuple than organic solar-cell on silicate substrate.

▼ Indium tin oxide (ITO) films were deposited onto the glass substrate by rf reactive magnetron sputtering method. Deposition was performed by changing processing conditions, such as rf power, process pressure and substrate temperature. The structural, optical and electrical properties of ITO films have been characterized by X-ray diffraction, optical transmittance and sheet resistance.
In the process of ITO deposition, we change rf power and fix process pressure at room temperature. And we change process pressure after finding low sheet resistance by changing rf power at room temperature. The low sheet resistance of 35 Ω/⡠was obtained at room temperature.
In addition, we change the substrate temperature while keeping the same rf power and process pressure. When the temperature is 400â, the sheet resistance as low as 6.98 Ω/â¡ was obtained. The diffraction peaks on (211), (222), (400), and (440) directions were observed by XRD analysis. Under high temperature (300â) deposition the transmittance and diffraction peaks of the films were found to change with different rf power and process pressure. However, the sheet resistances are about the same during the interest for both rf power and process pressure. The UV-visible spectra indicate that the optical transmittance of all the films is between 65 % ~ 90 % at visible range.

▼ In this study, distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) on flexible substrates based on dense ITO and porous ITO bilayers were demonstrated. In the fabrication of the DBRs, the high refractive index ITO films were grown at room temperature by long-throw reactive ratio-frequency magnetron sputtering. On the other hand, the low refractive index porous ITO films were obtained by applying supercritical CO2 treatment at different temperatures and pressures on the spin-coated sol-gel ITO films. The refractive indices of the dense ITO films and porous ITO films were 2.12 and 1.54, respectively. On glass substrates, the DBR with 6.5 period ITO bilayers, the optical reflectance of 95 % was achieved. The stop band and the average resistivity is 110 nm and 2.54Ã10-3 Ω-cm, respectively. On PET substrates, the DBR with 4.5 period ITO bilayers, exhibits the optical reflectance of 85 % . The stop band and the average resistivity is 126 nm and 2.76Ã10-3 Ω-cm, respectively.

▼ Colloidally prepared nanocrystals of transparent conducting oxide (TCO) semiconductors have emerged in the past decade as an exciting new class of plasmonic materials. In recent years, there has been tremendous progress in developing synthetic methods for the growth of these nanocrystals, basic characterization of their properties, and their successful integration into optoelectronic and electrochemical devices. However, many fundamental questions remain about the physics of localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) in these materials, and how their optoelectronic properties derive from their underlying structural properties. In particular, the influence of the concentration and distribution of dopant ions and compensating defects on the optoelectronic properties of TCO nanocrystals has seen little investigation.Indium tin oxide (ITO) is the most widely studied and commercially deployed TCO. Herein we investigate the role of the distribution of tin dopants on the optoelectronic properties of colloidally prepared ITO nanocrystals. Owing to a high free electron density, ITO nanocrystals display strong LSPR absorption in the near infrared. Depending on the particular organic ligands used, they are soluble in various solvents and can readily be integrated into densely packed nanocrystal films with high conductivities. Using a combination of spectroscopic techniques, modeling and simulation of the optical properties of the nanocrystals using the Drude model, and transport measurements, it is demonstrated herein that the radial distribution of tin dopants has a strong effect on the optoelectronic properties of ITO nanocrystals. ITO nanocrystals were synthesized in both surface-segregated and uniformly distributed dopant profiles. Temperature dependent measurements of optical absorbance were first combined with Drude modeling to extract the internal electrical properties of the ITO nanocrystals, demonstrating that they are well-behaved degenerately doped semiconductors displaying finite conductivity at low temperature and room temperature conductivity reduced by one order of magnitude from that of high-quality thin film ITO. Synchrotron based x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was then employed to perform detailed depth profiling of the elemental composition of ITO nanocrystals, confirming the degree of dopant surface-segregation. Based on free carrier concentrations extracted from Drude fitting of LSPR absorbance, an inverse correlation was found between surface segregation of tin and overall dopant activation. Furthermore, radial distribution of dopants was found to significantly affect the lineshape and quality factor of the LSPR absorbance. ITO nanocrystals with highly surface segregated dopants displayed symmetric LSPRs with high quality factors, while uniformly doped ITO nanocrystals displayed asymmetric LSPRs with reduced quality factors. These effects are attributed to damping of the plasmon by Coulombic scattering off ionized dopant impurities. Finally, the distribution of dopants is also found to influence…

▼ In this study, in the first step, Indium tin oxide nanoparticles were synthesized via a non-aqueous route involving the solvothermal treatment of indium (III) acetylacetonate and tin (IV) chloride in polyethylene glycol Mw=1000. The use of microwave heating reduced the reaction time considerably when compared to traditional heating methods. An analysis by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed particles of relatively uniform sizes and shapes. The high crystallinity of the material was observed by high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM). The nanocristal size founded by count was 5,1nm. A powder X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that all the materials were crystalline. Infrared spectra confirmed the presence of organic material on the nanoparticle surface. By thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) determined that 11.3% of the total mass corresponds to the polymer. Resistivity values below 10-1 Ω.cm were obtained in thin films and pellets, and semiconductor behavior. In the second step, a model to control the covered area of graphene oxide (GO) sheets by ITO nanoparticles was proposed. The method used was add graphene oxide at the synthetic route to obtain pure ITO. The composites were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TGA and TEM. XRD results for the synthesized materials confirmed the diffraction patterns of ITO in the different composites synthesized. Through the analysis of FT-IR was possible confirm the presence of the polymer formed on the surface of the oxide nanoparticle and functional groups of graphene oxide sheets. The polymer attached on the oxide surface is responsible for the strong interaction between the ITO and graphen oxide sheets. TEM images for the samples with different cover percentage showed the controller achieved with the synthesis proposed. The composite with 100 or 10% of metal oxides covering the sheets surface did not show the presence of nanocrystals out sheets. The percent value of the covered area obtained of 15% founded by image J analisys is near to the calculated value. From this value we can say that the model works well to control the covered area of GO by nanocristals. The electrical resistivity values found are comparable to the pure ITO, however, with a smaller amount of ITO.

O uso de aquecimento auxiliado por microondas reduziu o tempo de reação quando comparado aos métodos tradicionais de aquecimento. A análise por microscopia eletrônica de transmissão (TEM) mostrou partículas com tamanho e forma relativamente uniformes. A alta cristalinidade do material foi observada por microscopia eletrônica de alta resolução (HRTEM). O tamanho dos nanocristais obtidos por contagem foi de 5,1 nm. A análise de difração de Raios-X (DRX) indicou a cristalinidade do material. O espectro de infravermelho…

▼ We have built an imaging mass spectrometer adapted for ultrashort laser pulses as its ionization technique, as an alternative to other imaging techniques. Before my arrival, the mass spectrometer has only been subject to preliminary tests on noble gases. Since then, we’ve made some modifications to the system in order to properly analyze solids. This thesis shows how we obtain our ultrashort laser pulses, the inner workings of our homemade imaging mass spectrometer, and the results that we’ve obtained with it so far. We tested two modes of operation concerning the extraction of the ions from the system into the mass analyzer: continuous and pulsed. We discuss the advantages and disadvantages of each configuration. We also display preliminary imaging results with our imaging technique of a simple WO3 and ITO structure. We conclude by comparing the resolution of this image to the different techniques in imaging mass spectrometry, how we can further improve our mass spectrometer, and the future use of this machine.
Nous avons construit un spectromètre de masse adapté pour les pulses de laser très courts comme technique d’ionisation, pour acquisition des images d’un échantillon. Avant je suis arrivé, le spectromètre de masse avait seulement été utilisé pour des tests préliminaires de gaz nobles. Depuis ce moment, nous avons modifié le système pour analyser les solides. Cette thèse démontre comment on obtient nos pulses de laser très courts, comment notre spectromètre fait maison fonctionne et les résultats nous avons obtenus jusqu’à présent. Nous avons testé deux configurations différentes au sujet de l’extraction des ions du système : constant et pulsé. Nous discutons aussi les avantages et désavantages de chaque mode d’opération. Nous démontrons aussi des images préliminaires d’un substrat mixte de WO3 et ITO. Nous concluons par comparer la résolution des images aux autres techniques de collection d’images, comment nous pouvons améliorer notre spectromètre de masse et les plans pour la machine dans le futur.

▼ In a normal environment, cells are
subject to multiple signals such as secretion of proteins from neighboring cells and biochemical interactions with the extracellular matrix (ECM). Specifically, Arg-Gly-Asp-Cys (RGDC) ligands present in ECM has been known to bind to cellular integrins, thereby regulating cell adhesion and signaling pathways. Investigating the link between cell surface interactions and G-protein coupled receptor activation is crucial to understand cancer and various disease mechanisms. The dual electrochemical and optical investigation can provide comprehensive information about these networks as electrochemistry can monitor minute changes in morphologies as well as biochemical and ionic changes while optical microscopy has the potential to monitor specific cell signaling processes as well as morphologic changes. The aim of this work is two fold 1) present RGDC ligands on transparent
Indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes in a controlled manner and 2) monitor the G-protein coupled receptor (GPCR) activation signals on varied cell surface interactions using combined fluorescence microscopy and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. To achieve this, 1) the surface were modified with phosphonate based self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) so that adhesion and electron transfer properties of the electrode is well controlled, 2) a mixture of cell adhesive GRGDC ligands and antifouling molecules were covalently coupled on top of the monolayer to control cell adhesion, 3) finally, simultaneous live cell fluorescence imaging and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy was conducted on the prepared surfaces to analyze GPCR activation (calcium signals) and their link with cell adhesion. The results showed stable and well packed phosphonohexadecanoic acid SAMs formed only on smooth amorphous ITO surfaces. Stochastic optical reconstruction (STORM) single molecular fluorescence imaging of ITO surfaces showed well distributed RGDC-Alexa Fluor 647 molecules on modified ITO surfaces. The cell adhesion and spreading was found maximum on 1:10
3 (GRGDC:antifouling) surface and minimum on 1:10
9 surfaces. The dual optical electrochemical investigations showed that GPCR activation of cells attached on 1:10
6 and 1:10
9 surfaces showed large increase in impedance (morphological changes) whereas 1:10
3 and fibronectin coated surfaces showed maximum calcium signals. This dual investigations allow comprehensive understanding of cell signaling processes, fluorescence microscopy provides minute changes in calcium flux, while impedance spectroscopy providing information about minute changes in morphologies.

▼ Electron transport through semiconductor nanocrystal (NC) systems is almost entirely understood by analogs to bulk science. The physics governing electron transport within NCs is entirely analogous to bulk semiconductors with extreme spatial constraints. In contrast, the physics of electrons conducting between NCs is understood through the physics of amorphous materials, granular metals, or bulk semiconductors, depending on the structure of the NC ensemble. Herein is an investigation of how dopant distribution engineering can be utilized to modulate near surface depletion in NC films. The dependence of NC
film conductivity on dopant distribution is eliminated by surface passivation. A code to fit the optical absorption of colloidal NCs is developed to account for surface scattering, depletion, size heterogeneity, and dopant heterogeneity. This code is used to define the conduction within an individual NC. The intra-NC conduction is used as a metric to describe and define the phase diagram of NC
film electron transport. Using the criteria developed here, we make metallic films in a controlled manner.
This work illustrates an overview of bulk electron transport and an introduction of NC
film electron transport in Chapter 1. These descriptions will then be used to investigate the powerful capability to engineer intra-NC dopant distribution to manipulate NC
film conductivity in Chapter 2. The intra-NC conductance is then investigated using a novel code to fit the optical absorption of NCs in Chapter 3. With a deep understanding of intra-NC transport, the electron transport phase diagram is constructed in Chapter 4.

▼ Residential and commercial buildings represent a prime opportunity to improve energy efficiency and sustainability worldwide. Currently, lighting and thermal management within buildings account for 20% of the United State's yearly energy consumption. Several approaches, such as solid state lighting, energy efficient HVAC systems, and improved insulation, are currently being investigated to help mitigate building energy consumption. The work described in this dissertation focuses on studying the use of dynamic window coatings on commercial and residential buildings. Specifically, this work focuses on near infrared selective electrochromic window coatings that optimize the amount of solar heat that enters a building without affecting the amount of solar light. Electrochromic window coatings are based on an electrochemical cell architecture that is composed of two electrochromic layers separated by ion conducting electrolyte. During operation, an applied bias is used to control the optical properties of both electrochromic layers by shuffling a small amount of current between the counter and working electrode. In a negative bias, the window coatings dim to a dark state. If you reverse the bias, the window coatings go back to a transparent state. Intermediate states can be achieved by controlling the value of the bias applied. Unfortunately, traditional electrochromic windows require a change in visible transmittance to gain energy savings within buildings. This change affects the amount of solar daylighting and inadvertently leads to an increase in electrical lighting during the day. This work focuses on developing a nanocrystal based plasmonic electrochromic window that only modulates the near infrared portion of light while remaining visibly transparent. Taking advantage of localized surface plasmon absorption, this work approaches dynamic window coatings in a new fashion. To date, no near infrared selective electrochromic windows exist in the literature. To achieve near infrared selective modulation, thin film layers of tin doped indium oxide (ITO) and alumnium doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanocrystal films were investigated as a potential electrochromic layers. A colloidal synthetic technique was used to generate concentrated inks of both ITO and AZO nanocrystals. Thin films of ITO and AZO nanocrystals where fabricated via spin casting and tested in electrochemical half cells. Prior to testing, extensive post processing techniques were investigated to develop transparent conductive films. During optimization, variations in nanocrystal size, layer thickness, dopant concentration and electrolyte were studied. For an optimized ITO film, 35% solar near infrared modulation was achieved while maintaining less than 6% modulation in solar insolation visible to the human eye. Optimized AZO nanocrystal films achieved 42% solar near infrared modulation with no change in solar insolation visible to the human eye. Extensive models where built to elucidate the physical mechanism used to achieve this solar modulation. Computer…

▼ This dissertation focuses on characterizing the nanoscale and surface averaged electrical properties of transparent conducting
oxide (TCO) electrodes such as
indium tin oxide (ITO) and transparent metal-
oxide (MO) electron selective interlayers (ESLs), such as zinc
oxide (ZnO), the ability of these materials to rapidly extract photogenerated charges from organic semiconductors (OSCs) used in organic photovoltaic (OPV) cells, and evaluating their impact on the power conversion efficiency (PCE) of OPV devices. In Chapter 1, we will introduce the fundamental principles regarding the need for low cost power generation, the benefits of OPV technologies, as well as the key principles that govern the operation of OPV devices and the key innovations that have advanced this technology. In Chapter 2 of this dissertation, we demonstrate an innovative application of conductive probe atomic force microscopy (CAFM) to map the nanoscale electrical heterogeneity at the interface between an electrode, such as ITO, and an OSC such as the p-type OSC copper phthalocyanine (CuPc).(MacDonald et al. (2012) ACS Nano, 6, p. 9623) In this work we collected arrays of J-V curves, using a CAFM probe as the top contact of CuPc/ITO systems, to map the local J-V responses. By comparing J-V responses to known models for charge transport, we were able to determine if the local rate-limiting step for charge transport is through the OSC (ohmic) or the CuPc/ITO interface (nonohmic). These results strongly correlate with device PCE, as demonstrated through the controlled addition of insulating alkylphosphonic acid self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) at the ITO/CuPc interface. Subsequent chapters focus on the electrical property characterization of RF-magnetron sputtered ZnO (sp-ZnO) ESL films on ITO substrates. We have shown that the energetic alignment of ESLs and the organic semiconducting (OSC) active materials plays a critical role in determining the PCE of OPV devices and the appearance of, or lack thereof, UV light soaking sensitivity. For ZnO and fullerene interfaces, we have shown that either minimizing the oxygen partial pressure during ZnO deposition or exposure of ZnO to UV light minimizes the energetic offset at this interface and maximizes device PCE. We have used a combination of device testing, device modeling, and impedance spectroscopy to fully characterize the effects that energetic alignment has on the charge carrier transport and charge carrier distribution within the OPV device. This work can be found in Chapter 3 of this dissertation and is in preparation for publication. We have also shown that the local properties of sp-ZnO films varies as a function of the underlying ITO crystal face. We show that the local ITO crystal face determines the local nucleation and growth of the sp-ZnO films. We demonstrate that this effects the morphology, the chemical resistance to etching as well as the surface electrical properties of the sp-ZnO films. This is likely due to differences in the surface mobility of sputtered Zn and O atoms on these…

▼ Novel engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) continue to be synthesized and adopted for commercial and industrial applications. Currently, the classes of ENMs utilized most in consumer products are metal oxides, metals, and carbonaceous materials. An emerging subset of metal
oxide ENMs with potential in many applications are doped metal oxides, which are binary metal oxides (MO [subscript x] ) with some amount of another element, metal or non metal, inserted into the crystal lattice. This research focused on the environmental fate and transport of a major doped metal
oxide,
indium tin oxide (ITO), that is currently widely produced for applications in electronics. Specifically, this dissertation investigated the particle stability, solubility, and production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) by ITO nanoparticles in aqueous systems. The stability of ITO particles in electrolyte solutions and the effect of Sn level was investigated in a series of homoaggregation studies. In order to better compare colloidal stability, a novel method, called the TAA-logistic method, for estimating the critical coagulation concentration (CCC) from dynamic light scattering data was developed and tested with experimental and literature data. Using the new method, particle aggregation kinetics were compared for a range of solution conditions including pH, electrolyte valency, ionic strength, and presence of natural organic matter (NOM). Aggregation kinetics were determined for a set of synthesized particles coated with PAA-PEO polymer and for a set of bare, commercially-obtained particles. Aggregation experiments indicated inclusion of Sn in In₂O₃ decreased the aqueous stability of the nanoparticle, largely due to decreases in the magnitude of surface charge. However, the surface charge and aqueous stability did not always trend linearly with Sn content, indicating other factors, such as the distribution of Sn within the ITO crystal, were also important. Lastly, Suwannee River aquatic natural organic matter (NOM) significantly increased the aqueous stability of ITO nanoparticles through charge reversal and electrostatic stabilization. Dissolution of ITO in dilute, inert electrolyte was studied in batch and flowthrough experiments. Slow dissolution kinetics were shown in both experimental con- figurations. Sn was not appreciably leached from ITO at either pH = 4 or pH = 6. Inclusion of Sn appeared to reduce In solubility relative to In₂O₃ at pH = 6 but increased In leaching at pH = 4. The discrepancy between dissolution behavior at the two pH values relative to the In₂O₃ end-member indicated more complex solubility than explained by simple ideal solid solution aqueous solution behavior. Lastly, the electronic band structure of ITO was determined for multiple levels of Sn using ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy and UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy. Inclusion of
tin resulted in an increase of the optical band gap and a shift of the conduction band minimum, Fermi level, and valence band maximum to more oxidizing potentials relative to…

▼ With their relatively low process temperature, high field-effect mobility, low leakage current and high transparency, thin-film transistors (TFTs) based on metal oxide (MO), especially indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO), are being intensively studied as the promising active device of next-generation flat-panel displays, as well as other logic circuit application. The resistivity of the IGZO film is related to the thermal processes it has gone through. When the annealing atmosphere is nitrogen, or the channel region is covered by the impermeable cover, the resistivity of the IGZO layer will drop down, leading to a negative shift of threshold voltage (Vth) for the annealed IGZO TFTs. By selectively modulating the channel, depletion mode (DM) and enhancement mode (EM) TFTs can be simultaneously fabricated with an additional photolithography step. The inverter with EM and DM TFTs exhibit rail-to-rail performance along with high gain which is compatible to CMOS based inverter. With proper annealing step, the Vth variation between DM and EM TFTs are controllable, therefore resulting in good performance of such inverter with proper operation point. This integration method for IGZO TFTs with different driving modes can be used to produce the next generation logic circuit on flexible or transparent substrate with good electrical performance for applications like wearable circuits or system on panel application.

▼ In order to clarify the mechanism of reset process in Ti/HfO2/
TiN resistive random access memory (RRAM) devices, constant voltage sampling measurements are carried out at different temperatures. The reset process is dominated by electrochemical first order reaction. Three different values of activation energy are extracted in the reset process, and the corresponding dominant models are proposed in this thesis.
Transparent conductive
film of
indium tin oxide (ITO) possesses plenty of benefits over metal electrode, including lower operating current, low set voltage, and self-limiting current characteristic. Therefore, ITO is designed and fabricated as the top electrode, and oxygen ions are verified to be driven into the ITO electrode by current fitting. Moreover, experimental results demonstrate that ITO/SiO2:ITO/
TiN devices can exhibit either interface type or filament type resistive switching depending whether forming process is performed. As operating voltage increases, the resistance of the low resistance state decreases, verifying that ITO can be regarded as an oxygen ion reservoir. Besides, the fabricated sample reveals good retention behavior and endurance up to 10
8 times.
In order to make the RRAM devices practical in the future electronic products, complementary resistive switching structure is proposed and fabricated to eliminate the sneak path current in RRAM crossbar array. In this study, due to the property of asymmetric set and reset voltages of ITO electrode, ITO is utilized to realize a larger reading window and minimize the misidentification when compared to that with metal electrodes. Besides electrode pattern designing, the structure of two bipolar RRAM elements antiserially into one complementary resistive switching memory is also fabricated, and can exhibit stable DC sweep cycles up to 1000 times.

▼ The aim of this dissertation was to investigate the aging of
indium tin oxide (ITO) anodes of organic light-emitting diodes (OLED) treated by supercritical CO2 (SCCO2) with H2O2. By SCCO2/H2O2 4000psi-15min treatment, the work function as high as 5.3eV was achieved, which was higher than 5.2eV of the O2 plasma treated sample and 4.8eV of the as-cleaned sample. Furthermore, surface energy and polar component of as-cleaned ITO anode were 46.6 mJ/m2 and 16 mJ/m2. After treating SCCO2/H2O2 fluid, the surface energy and polar component were significantly increased to 80.2 mJ/m2 and 38.5 mJ/m2.
However, after 96 hours aging in air, the surface energy and polar component of the SCCO2/H2O2 treated ITO anode reduced slightly to 72.6 mJ/m2 and 38.3 mJ/m2. On the other hand, the surface energy and polar component of conventional O2 plasma treated ITO anode decreased drastically to 62.3 mJ/m2 and 28.9 mJ/m2. In addition to the aging of OLED, the device of the 6 hours-aging in air sample were similar for the sample treated by SCCO2/H2O2 4000psi-15min and O2 plasma. The luminance over 40000 cd/m2 was achieved from both of the two samples. After 12 hours aging in air, the OLEDs characteristics of the SCCO2/H2O2 treated samples were better than the O2 plasma treated sample.

▼ In this study, conductive distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) on glass substrates based on dense ITO(
Indium tin oxide) and porous ITO bilayers were proposed as a high-reflectivity mirror of the liquid crystal (LC) tunable filters. In the fabrication of the DBRs, the low refractive index porous ITO films were obtained by applying supercritical CO2 treatment at different temperatures and pressures on the spin-coated sol-gel ITO films. On the other hand, the high refractive index ITO films were grown at room temperature by long-throw reactive ratio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The refractive indices of the porous ITO films and dense ITO films were 1.52 and 2.07, respectively. On glass substrates, the DBR with 4.5 period ITO bilayers, the optical reflectance of 85.7 % was achieved. The stop band and the effective resistivity is 131.8 nm and 2.25Ã10-3 Ω-cm, respectively.
The liquid crystal tunable filters was fabricated by the combination ITO DBR with an intra-cavity liquid crystal material. In this device, ITO DBR was used as the conductive electrode and the high reflection mirror. The operation voltage of the proposed tunable filter can be reduced, because the cavity length of the device is considerably shortened in comparison with that of a conventional tunable LC filter using dielectric DBR. The LC of the devices was anchored by both rubbing and photo-alignment techniques, and their correspondent wavelength tunable ranges were 58.2nm and 57nm, respectively.

▼ In the study, conductive distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) fabricated at room temperature based on porous
indium tin oxide (ITO) on dense ITO bilayers were proposed for resonant cavity organic light emitting diodes (RCOLEDs). In the fabrication of the ITO DBRs, the low refractive index porous ITO films were obtained by applying supercritical CO2 treatment at different temperature and pressures on the spin-coated sol-gel ITO films. On the other hand, the high refractive index ITO films were grown at room temperature by long-throw reactive ratio-frequency magnetron sputtering. The refractive index of the porous ITO
film and ITO films were 1.54 and 2.0, respectively. For the DBR with 4 pairs ITO bilayers, the optical reflectance of more than 70 % was achieved. The stop band and the average resistivity is 140 nm and 2.2Ã10-3 Ω-cm, respectively. Finally, electrical and optical characteristics of the RCOLEDs fabricated on the ITO DBR were investigated and compared with those of the conventional OLEDs. The maximum luminous efficiency of 3.79 cd/A was obtained at 347 mA/cm2 for the RCOLED. This luminous efficiency was 26 % higher than that of the conventional OLED.

▼ In this study, microcavity organic light-emitting diodes (MOLEDs) with conductive distributed Bragg reflectors (DBRs) were demonstrated. The conductive DBRs were fabricated by stacking the porous ITO/sputtered ITO bilayers on glass substrates and PET substrates. The ITO films were grown at room temperature by long-throw reactive ratio-frequency magnetron sputtering. On the other hand, the porous ITO films were obtained by sol-gel spin coating followed by supercritical CO2 treatment. The measured refractive indices of the ITO films and the porous ITO films were 2.11 and 1.54, respectively, at a wavelength of 500 nm. The maximum optical reflectivity of the 6.5-period DBR was 94.0% on glass substrates. The stop band and the average resistivity of the DBR were 110 nm and 2.75Ã10-3Ωcm, respectively. The maximum optical reflectivity of the 6.5-period DBR was 93.5% on PET substrates. The stop band and the average resistivity were 112 nm and 2.96Ã10-3Ωcm, respectively.
Finally, the optical and electrical characteristics of the MOLEDs fabricated on glass and PET substrates were compared with those of the standard OLEDs on glass substrates. The FWHM of the emitting spectra of the MOLEDs with the 6.5-period ITO DBRs on glass substrates and PET substrates were 7 nm and 11 nm, respectively.

▼ This thesis studies the temperature dependence of resistance and uses the Seebeck effect to obtain the carrier concentration in the
indium tin oxide (ITO) films which have been annealed. We annealed two sets of
indium tin oxide in different temperaturesâone through helium gas and the other through oxygen gas.
Since the higher the temperature, the greater the thermopower, we could observe the change of the carrier concentration. It is believed that the fabrication of ITO films would cause some oxygen to stay inside, and the oxygen will repair the oxygen vacancy. Having analyzed experience samples with XPS, we found that there was some oxygen contaminant on the surface of the samples, and the amount of oxygen vacancies also decreased. It complied with our result.
We measured the temperature dependence of resistance of samples. Then, we fitted our data with resistivity function. There was about 0.1 debye temperature in fitting parameter, and it distinguished the contribution to the different scattering mechanism in different temperature.
By fitting the data to Bloch-Grüneisen theorem, we found that there was a linear association parameter Ï0 and β We had thought that the variation of β was affected by electric properties, but the result suggested that it had more to do with the degree of disorder.

▼ As a transparent conductive material,
indium tin oxide (ITO) has been utilized as electrodes in liquid crystal displays, solar cells, heat reflecting films and gas sensors. In general, the desired properties are high conductance and transmission. However, due to the complexity of ITO, the
film properties strongly depend on the deposition processes. In this study, the deposition conditions for ITO
film were optimized to get both high conductivity and transmission. The emphasis was on investigating the effects of various deposition parameters, such as oxygen partial pressure, total gas flow, annealing conditions and power. These are the most critical parameters for ITO deposition. A mathematical model to describe the material properties as functions of these parameters for a CVC model 601 Sputterer was developed utilizing JMP IN software. Films with resistivity 3x10-4Ω-cm and transmittance above 90% were achieved on glass and silicon substrates with 20 hours of annealing. The processing window (power: 120-150W, oxygen ratio: 6-10%) is, to the author’s knowledge, the largest reported by literature. However, the ITO
film properties (electrical and optical) variation between runs needs to be further reduced. Patterning of ITO was also investigated. High but controllable etch rates are desired. Both wet and dry etch processes were developed. The etch rate of 48nm/min was achieved by using HCL aqueous solution (4:1 HCl to DI water volumetric ratio, where HCl is the standard 37% HCl solution) with almost infinite selectivity between the ITO
film and the photoresisit. For dry etch, the etch rate is 1nm/min with just argon as the working gas and the etching selectivity between the photoresist and the ITO
film is 13.02. To etch 100nm ITO
film, the photoresist needs to be at least 1.5um to serve as etching mask. This dry etch process still needs to be improved. A Schottky contact was successfully fabricated by using ITO as the metal. The electrical barrier height was calculated to be 1.01eV. The current-voltage characteristics were investigated as well.

▼ With the continuous advancement of technology, applications in the Internet of things (IoT) will become widespread, and even integrated to many peopleâs daily lives. According to predictions, by 2020, global IoT nodes will expand to 28 billion, indicating the importance of IoT in the commercial markets and its potential future development. This development will be dominated by the evolution of memory devices, and among the next-generation memory devices, resistive random access memory (RRAM) has the most potential to become the mainstream next-generation memory due to its advantages of low power-consumption and high performance. However, a major obstacle is the non-uniform physical mechanism in its resistance switching process. Therefore, the key factor in putting RRAM into mass production is to clarify the switching physical mechanism.
The resistive switching process includes the set and reset processes. In the set process, the distribution of the set voltage is one of the most important issue which hinders the mass production of RRAM, and the reason for this voltage distribution is considered to be highly related to the resistance distribution of HRS. This is the first time analyzing the phenomenon using the interface effect, and we determine that the reason is the different degrees of oxidation of the switching layer, which is caused by an incomplete reaction of oxygen ions. In this article, an additional oxygen reservoir is also built by plasma treatment to inhibit the distribution situation. During the reset process, when the series resistance value is close to the LRS resistance value, voltage positive feedback effect occurs in the process, causing the reset process to end in a very short period of time. In addition, this is the first study which finds that the degree of reset is dominated by the effective electrical field region rather than the energy consumed, and a supportive physical model is established by an electrical field simulation. Further, a high efficiency, energy-saving operation method is also proposed in this research.
In terms of the device material, ITO is proposed to act as the device electrode, and exhibits outstanding performance, reliability, and a self-compliance characteristic. Moreover, the concentration gradient of oxygen ions is considered to be one of the driving forces of the resistance switching process, and a model is also proposed for explanation of the mechanism.

▼ With the advent of advanced technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and cloud computing, huge amounts of data are continuously produced. The demand for memory, therefore, is dramatically increasing. Traditional flash memory currently faces severe challenges when device size shrinks. A thin tunneling
oxide layer may cause severe leakage path issues, resulting in degradation of data retention and component reliability. Therefore, it is imperative to develop a new generation of memory. Among next generation memories, the resistive random access memory (RRAM) has the advantages of being simple metal-insulator-metal structure, as well as having low power consumption and high operation performance, factors which are important in becoming a building block for the new generation of memory devices.
In this thesis, we applied an
indium tin oxide (ITO) thin
film as the electrode in a HfO2-based RRAM to investigate its resistance switching (RS) characteristics. The experimental results show that, compared to a traditional inert metal electrode, the ITO electrode has robust RS characteristics and better reliability. Both lower operating current and faster operating speed can be achieved simultaneously. On the basis of electrical measurements, we conclude that the oxygen ions can enter the ITO electrode by the given electric field, thus forming a semiconductor-like ITO region. This also causes the effects of a self-compliance current and low power consumption. In addition, due to the bulk oxygen-ion storage in the ITO electrode, the device exhibits better RS performance.
Since the transition element has a semi-full electron orbital region, it easily forms bonds with oxygen ions. We, therefore, doped gadolinium (Gd) into the ITO electrode as a ITO:Gd combination to examine the RS mechanism in the HO2-based RRAM. The experimental results show that the ITO:Gd device can produce a high memory window at a low operating current. By means of the current fitting method and a temperature effect experiment, we are able to confirm that a modification in the conducting mechanism has occurred, from the Ohmic conducting mechanism in the pure ITO electrode to Schottky emission in the ITO:Gd electrode. We conclude that the ITO:Gd electrode has better bonding ability with oxygen ions due to the Gd doping, which in turn allows the ITO:Gd device to have better resistance switching characteristics.
Since the ITO material also possesses semiconductor characteristics, we have also attempted co-sputtering the ITO thin
film with nitrogen gas as the ITON thin
film to act as the insulator layer of RRAM, thereby further simplifying the device fabrication process. Experimental results shown that the ITON thin
film can also induce RS characteristics. In addition, a lower operating voltage can be achieved with only ±3 volts to complete the forming, set, and reset operations.
Apart from this gas co-sputtering method, we also introduced an oxygen plasma treatment to oxidize the ITO thin
film as the insulator in the RRAM.…

▼ CdTe as one of the II-VI semiconductors has become attractive over the last few decades as a result of commercial applications in thin-
film solar photovoltaic technology. Although the current record CdTe solar cell efficiency is above 20%, it is still much lower than the maximum single junction theoretical efficiency of approximately 30%. Moreover, the impressive recent efficiency gains are mainly attributed to the short circuit current and fill-factor. Thus, improving open circuit voltage is required in order to achieve the high efficiency CdTe-based solar cells. Here, I will present fabrication and characterization of single crystal CdTe-based II-VI solar cells grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on Si substrates. I will begin by discussing my results related to material properties of
indium tin oxide (ITO), arsenic-doped CdTe, and
indium-doped CdTe. The results show that (a) temperature and doping are critical factors for both electrical and optical properties of ITO thin films as front contact materials of single crystal CdTe solar cells, (b) p-type carrier density greater than 10
16 cm
-3 can be achieved using arsenic acceptors in CdTe films, and (c) n-type carrier density close to 10
18 cm
-3 can be achieved using
indium donors in CdTe films. Finally, I will present my studies of single crystal CdTe solar cell fabrication and performance based on the knowledge obtained from the material properties of ITO, arsenic-doped CdTe, and
indium-doped CdTe. Relatively poor crystal quality of arsenic-doped absorber CdTe layers and
indium diffusion issues during device fabrications are found to be correlated with the lower open circuit voltage and efficiency. Possible means of achieving high open circuit voltage will be discussed for future work.

▼ This dissertation has focused on the study of the ITO/organic heterojunction and the chemistries therein, it proposes appropriate strategies that enhance the interfacial physical and electronic properties for charge injection with application to organic thin-layer devices. We focused on four major aspects of this work: i) To characterize the ITO surface and chemistries that may be pertinent to interaction with adjacent organic layers in a device configuration. This developed a working model of surface and provided a foundation for modification strategies. Characterization of the electronic properties of the surface indicate less than 5% of the geometrical surface is responsible for the bulk of current flow while the rest is electrically inactive. ii) To determine the extent to which these chemistries are variable and propose circumstances where compositional changes can occur. It is shown that the surface chemistry of ITO is heterogeneous and possible very dynamic with respect to the surrounding environment. iii) To propose a strategy for modification of the interface. Modification of ITO surfaces by small molecules containing carboxylic acid functionalities is investigated. Enhancements in the electron transfer rate coefficient were realized after modification of the ITO electrode. The enhancements are found to stem from a light etching mechanism. Additionally, an elecro-catalytic effect was observed with some of the modifiers. iv) Apply these modifications to organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic photovoltaic devices (OPVs). Enhancements seen in solution electrochemical experiments are indicative of the enhancements seen for solid state devices. Modifications resulted in substantially lower leakage currents (3 orders of magnitude in some cases) as well as nearly doubling the efficiency.An additional chapter describes the creation and characterization of electrochemically grown polymer nano-structures based on blazed angle diffraction gratings. The discussion details the micro-contact printing process and the electro-catalytic growth of the conductive polymers PANI and PEDOT to form diffraction grating structures in their own right. The resulting diffraction efficiency of these structures is shown to be sensitive to environmental conditions outlining possible uses as chemical sensors. This is demonstrated by utilizing these structures as working pH and potentiometric sensors based on the changing diffraction efficiency.
