Self-Assembled Nanocrystalline Zno Thin Film Transistor Performance Optimization For High Speed Applications, Burhan Bayraktaroglu, Kevin Leedy
Turkish Journal of Physics
ZnO nanocrystals grown at relatively low temperatures using various vacuum deposition techniques can yield semiconducting thin films of self-assembled nanocolumns 20-50 nm in diameter. Such films are suitable for the fabrication of high speed and transparent thin film transistors (TFTs). Unlike amorphous TFTs, the performance of ZnO transistors depends both on the crystal quality of nanocrystals and the electrical properties of boundary layers between them. We investigated the use of radio frequency sputtering, atomic layer deposition, and pulsed laser deposition techniques to fabricate self-assembled nanocrystalline thin films and determined the influence of deposition conditions on the performance of transistors. Device …

We demonstrate the fabrication of sophisticated nanostructures using nanosphere lithography (NSL). These include periodic triangular and pyramidal islands as well as periodically perforated thin films and cavities on the nano- and microscale. Furthermore, periodic arrays of vertically standing multiwalled carbon nanotubes are grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition from catalyst islands that were prepatterned by NSL. Moreover, we discuss the applicability of NSL to rough surfaces and show that the ratio between nanosphere size and roughness is determinant of the resulting nanostructure produced. Excellent, limited, and bad applicability of NSL are shown for smooth, rough, and very rough surfaces, …
