Transparent polymer layers that heal minor scratches and maintain the optical properties of the devices for a long time are highly desirable in optoelectronics. This paper presents the results of the electrical characterization of thin PEDOT:PSS films on the novel, optically transparent thiol–ene substrates capable of healing scratches under room-temperature conditions. Electrical properties of the PEDOT:PSS films deposited on the conventional alumina ceramic substrates were also tested for comparative purposes. This study demonstrated that the substrate can have a significant effect on the electrical properties of PEDOT:PSS films, and the electrical resistance of the films on thiol–ene substrates is not as stable as on alumina ceramics. However, the changes in electrical resistance of the films on thiol–ene are small enough over a sufficiently wide range of operating temperatures and relative humidities and allow the application of such bilayers in various polymeric optoelectronic devices.

Significant Research

Graphene, a 2D material, has motivated significant research in the study of its in-plane charge carrier transport in order to understand and exploit its unique physical and electrical properties. The vertical graphene-semiconductor system, however, also presents opportunities for unique devices, yet there have been few attempts to understand the properties of carrier transport through the graphene sheet into an underlying substrate. In this work, we investigate the epitaxial graphene/4H-SiC system, studying both p and n-type SiC substrates with varying doping levels in order to better understand this vertical heterojunction.

AbstractCa2Nd4Ti6O20, a layered perov skite structured material was synthesized via a chemical (citrate sol-gel) route for the first time using nitrates and alkoxide precursors. Phase analysis of a sample sintered at 1625 °C revealed the formation of an orthorhombic (Pbn21) symmetry. The microstructure of the sample after sintering comprised rod-shaped grains of a size of 1.5 to 6.5µm. The room temperature dielectric constant of the sintered sample was 38 at 100 kHz. The remnant polarization (Pr) and the coercive field (Ec) were about 400 μC/cm2 and 8.4 kV/cm, respectively. Impedance spectroscopy revealed that the capacitance (13.7 pF) and activation energy (1.39 eV) of the grain boundary was greater than the capacitance (5.7 pF) and activation energy (1.13 eV) of the grain.

AbstractThis paper presents the formation and the characterization of silicon germanium oxide (SixGeyO1-x-y) infrared sensitive material for uncooled microbolometers. RF magnetron sputtering was used to simultaneously deposit Si and Ge thin films in an Ar/O2 environment at room temperature. The effects of varying Si and O composition on the thin film's electrical properties which include temperature coefficient of resistance (TCR) and resistivity were investigated. The highest achieved TCR and the corresponding resistivity at room temperature were -5.41 %/K and 3.16×103 ohm cm using Si0.039Ge0.875O0.086 for films deposited at room temperature.

The novel technique microwave detected photo induced current transient spectroscopy (MD-PICTS) was applied to semi-insulating 6H-SiC in order to investigate the properties of inherent defect levels. Defect spectra can be obtained in the similar way to conventional PICTS and DLTS. However, there is no need for contacting the samples, which allows for non-destructive and spatially resolved electrical characterization. This work is focused on the investigation of semi-insulating 6H-SiC grown under different C/Si-ratios. In the corresponding MD-PICTS spectra several shallow defect levels appear in the low temperature range. However the peak assignment needs further investigation. Additionally different trap reemission dynamics are obtained for higher temperatures, which are supposed to be due to different compensation effects.

ABSTRACTOptical and electrical characterization of CdTe synthetized by laser irradiationofamultilayer film of alternately Cd and Te is achieved. Optical absorption measurements evidence the good quality of these films and show that they have behaviour comparable to the single crystal. The influence of the irradiation conditions on the electrical properties of such CdTe films is discussed; they are compared to single crystal from the point of view of resistivity. It is shown that it is possible to prepare by this means samples devoid of impurity states in the middle of the forbidden gap. Finally, the ohmicity of Au, Al, Cr, ITO and non irradiated Cd/Te sandwich contacts is tested.

AbstractThe continual scaling of complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technologies has pushed the Si-SiO2 system to its very limits and has led to the consideration of a number of alternative high-ĸ gate dielectric materials. In the end, it will be the electrical properties of the new Si/high-ĸ system that will determine its usefulness in future CMOS generations. For this reason, the study of the electrical properties of high-ĸ gate insulators is crucial. We present an overview of some of the electrical characterization techniques and reliability tests used to evaluate possible high-ĸ gate materials. Most of these techniques are well known from the characterization of SiO2 layers, but there are some additional complications, such as the presence of several different layers within one gate stack or the use of different gate electrode materials. These make the interpretation and comparison of experimental results more troublesome.

ABSTRACTWe have reported the synthesis of carbon nitride thin films with evidence of formation of carbon nanodomes over a range of substrate temperature from 50 °C to 550 °C. An RF magnetron sputtering system was used for depositing carbon nitride films. The size of the nanodomes can be controlled by deposition temperature and increases from 40–80 nm at room temperature to 200–400 nm at high temperature (550 °C). Microstructural characterization was performed by AFM. Electrical characterization shows that these films have conductive behaviour with a resistivity depending on the size of the nanodomes. Resistivity values of 20 mΩ-cm were found for nanodomes of size 40–80 nm falling to 6 m?-cm for nanodomes of size 200–400 nm. Nanoindentation results show that the hardness and Young's modulus of these films are in the range from 9–22 GPa and 100–168 GPa respectively and these values decrease as the size of the nanodomes increases. GXRD results confirm that a crystalline graphitic carbon nitride structure has formed.
