In this work, we report on the electrical characterization of nanoparticular thin films of zinc oxide and aluminum-doped ZnO. Temperature-dependent current–voltage measurements revealed that charge transport is well described by the Poole–Frenkel model.

ABSTRACTZinc oxide (ZnO) single crystals are grown by the traditional chemical vapor reaction method and ZnO crystal pairs with a single boundary are successfully obtained. The obtained specimens with one ZnO–ZnO boundary (ZnO homojunction) show nonlinear current-voltage (I–V) characteristics without the addition of Bi2O3, CoO, MnO2, and/or rare earth metal oxides. A specimen with higher breakdown voltage shows superior nonlinearity with negative resistivity in its I–V characteristics. Electrical characterization of the ZnO homojunction is conducted and extremely slow response with the current (or voltage) stress is confirmed. The phenomenon had never been observed in commercial ZnO varistors. The surface temperature of the ZnO homojunction is enhanced by larger applied current. The effect of the Joule heat on the nonlinearity in the I–V curves of the ZnO homojunction is discussed.

AbstractThis work presents the investigations of AlN thin films deposited on Si substrates by means of magnetron sputtering. Nine different sputtering processes were performed. Based on obtained results, the tenth process was prepared and performed (for future ISFET structures manufacturing). Round aluminum (Al) electrodes were evaporated on the top of deposited layers. The MIS capacitor structures enabled a subsequent electrical characterization of the AlN films by means of current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. Based on these results, the main parameters of investigated layers were obtained. Moreover, the paper describes the technology of fabrication and electrical characterization of ISFET transistors and possibility of their application as ion sensors.

Undoped and Aluminum doped Zinc Oxide thin films were synthesized by dip coating technique. The electrical properties of the films were studied due to the Aluminum doping, starting solution aging and sample aging. The sheet resistance of ZnO:Al films was minimum at 2.5 at % whereas carrier concentration is maximum. Both undoped and aluminum doped Zinc Oxide thin films were found to be highly transparent lying in between 65 - 79 % in the wavelength range 367 nm to 1038 nm. The band gap of deposited films changed slightly from 3.22 eV to 3.27 eV.

ABSTRACTA review is presented on the application of electrical measurements to evaluate the existence and effects of residual electronic defects in crystallized—silicon thin films. Experimental techniques include current—voltage characterization, electronbeam—induced conductivity, transient—capacitance measurements on thin—film capacitors, transient—conductance spectroscopy on thin—film transistors, and photoconductivity.
