研究目的
To examine the properties of Al-doped SnOx films deposited via reactive co-sputtering for potential applications in transparent and flexible electronic devices, focusing on electrical, structural, optical, and adhesive characteristics.
研究成果
Al-doped SnOx films show improved semiconductor characteristics, reduced oxygen vacancies, high optical transmittance, and good adhesion to flexible substrates, making them suitable for transparent flexible TFT applications.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific Al doping concentrations (up to 2.24 atom %), room temperature and low-temperature (150°C) processing, and lacks long-term stability tests beyond 14 days. Adhesive strength was not measured quantitatively beyond the duct tape's capability.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
Fabrication of bottom gate TFTs using RF reactive magnetron co-sputtering with Sn and Al targets in an O2/Ar gas mixture. Electrical, structural, optical, and adhesive properties were analyzed.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples with varying Al doping levels (0,
3:20, 24 atom %) were prepared on Si/SiO2 and polyimide substrates. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Sputtering system, spectroscopic ellipsometer (MG-1000), field effect scanning electron microscope (S5300), XPS (Multilab 2000), Hall measurement system (HMS-5300), HR-XRD (D8 Discover), UV-visible spectrophotometer (UV-2450), peel tester (AD4935-50N), duct tape (GT2), source meter (2400). Materials include Sn (
