Project description:Two-dimensional (2D) materials have expansive application prospects in electronics and optoelectronics devices due to their unique physical and chemical properties. 2D layered materials are easy to prepare due to the layered crystal structure and the interlayer van der Waals combination. However, the 2D nonlayered materials are difficult to prepare due to the nonlayered crystal structure and the combination of interlayer isotropic chemical bonds, resulting in limited research on 2D nonlayered materials with broad characteristics. Here, a 2D nonlayered NiSe material has been synthesized by a chemical vapor deposition method. The atomic force microscopy study shows that the grown NiSe with a thin thickness. Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy results demonstrate the uniformity and high quality of NiSe flakes. The NiSe based photodetector realizes the laser response to 830 nm and 10.6 μm and the maximum responsivity is ~6.96 A/W at room temperature. This work lays the foundation for the preparation of 2D nonlayered materials and expands the application of 2D nonlayered materials in optoelectronics fields.

Project description:Transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), together with other two-dimensional (2D) materials, have attracted great interest due to the unique optical and electrical properties of atomically thin layers. In order to fulfill their potential, developing large-area growth and understanding the properties of TMDCs have become crucial. Here, we have used molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) to grow atomically thin MoSe2 on GaAs(111)B. No intermediate compounds were detected at the interface of as-grown films. Careful optimization of the growth temperature can result in the growth of highly aligned films with only two possible crystalline orientations due to broken inversion symmetry. As-grown films can be transferred onto insulating substrates, allowing their optical and electrical properties to be probed. By using polymer electrolyte gating, we have achieved ambipolar transport in MBE-grown MoSe2. The temperature-dependent transport characteristics can be explained by the 2D variable-range hopping (2D-VRH) model, indicating that the transport is strongly limited by the disorder in the film.

Project description:High-performance p-type thin-film transistors (pTFTs) are crucial for realizing low-power display-on-panel and monolithic three-dimensional integrated circuits. Unfortunately, it is difficult to achieve a high hole mobility of greater than 10 cm2/V·s, even for SnO TFTs with a unique single-hole band and a small hole effective mass. In this paper, we demonstrate a high-performance GeSn pTFT with a high field-effect hole mobility (μFE), of 41.8 cm2/V·s; a sharp turn-on subthreshold slope (SS), of 311 mV/dec, for low-voltage operation; and a large on-current/off-current (ION/IOFF) value, of 8.9 × 106. This remarkably high ION/IOFF is achieved using an ultra-thin nanosheet GeSn, with a thickness of only 7 nm. Although an even higher hole mobility (103.8 cm2/V·s) was obtained with a thicker GeSn channel, the IOFF increased rapidly and the poor ION/IOFF (75) was unsuitable for transistor applications. The high mobility is due to the small hole effective mass of GeSn, which is supported by first-principles electronic structure calculations.

Project description:Since the successful exfoliation of graphene, various methodologies have been developed to identify the number of layers of exfoliated graphene. The optical contrast, Raman G-peak intensity, and 2D-peak line-shape are currently widely used as the first level of inspection for graphene samples. Although the combination analysis of G- and 2D-peaks is powerful for exfoliated graphene samples, its use is limited in chemical vapor deposition (CVD)-grown graphene because CVD-grown graphene consists of various domains with randomly rotated crystallographic axes between layers, which makes the G- and 2D-peaks analysis difficult for use in number identification. We report herein that the Raman Si-peak intensity can be a universal measure for the number identification of multilayered graphene. We synthesized a few-layered graphene via the CVD method and performed Raman spectroscopy. Moreover, we measured the Si-peak intensities from various individual graphene domains and correlated them with the corresponding layer numbers. We then compared the normalized Si-peak intensity of the CVD-grown multilayer graphene with the exfoliated multilayer graphene as a reference and successfully identified the layer number of the CVD-grown graphene. We believe that this Si-peak analysis can be further applied to various 2-dimensional (2D) materials prepared by both exfoliation and chemical growth.

Project description:The development of reliable, high performance integrated circuits based on thin film transistors (TFTs) is of interest for the development of flexible electronic circuits. In this work we illustrate the modulation of TFT transconductance via the texturing of the gate metal created by the addition of a conductive pattern on top of a planar gate. Texturing results in the semiconductor-insulator interface acquiring a non-planar geometry with local variations in the radius of curvature. This influences various TFT parameters such as the subthreshold slope, gate voltage at the onset of conduction, contact resistance and gate capacitance. Specific studies are performed on textures based on periodic striations oriented along different directions. Textured TFTs showed upto ±40% variation in transconductance depending on the texture orientation as compared to conventional planar gate TFTs. Analytical models are developed and compared with experiments. Gain boosting in common source amplifiers based on textured TFTs as compared to conventional TFTs is demonstrated.

Project description:Malaria diagnosis relies on optical microscopy and/or rapid diagnostic tests based on detecting specific malaria antigens. The clinical sensitivity of these methods is highly dependent on parasite density, with low levels of detection at low parasite density, challenging the worldwide malaria elimination efforts. Therefore, there is a need for diagnostic methods with higher sensitivity, demanding innovative diagnostics devices able to detect malaria at low parasite density and at early stages of the disease. We propose an innovative optical device for malaria diagnosis, based on optical reflectance spectrophotometry, for the detection of parasites through the quantification of haemozoin. For this purpose, a set of eight thin-film optical filters, based on multilayer stacks of MgO/TiO2 and SiO2/TiO2 thin-films, with high transmittance and low full width at half maximum (FWHM) at specific wavelengths, was designed and fully characterized (both numerically and experimentally). A preliminary assessment of its potential to reconstruct the original spectra of red blood cells was performed, both in uninfected and Plasmodium falciparum-infected samples. The obtained results show that, although the experimental filters have a non-ideal performance characteristic, they allow us to distinguish, based on only 8 discrete points in the optical spectrum, between healthy and malaria infected samples, up to a detection limit of 12 parasites/μL of red blood cells. Those results enhance the potential of using such a device for malaria diagnostics, aiming for non-invasiveness.

Project description:Printing electronics has become increasingly prominent in the field of electronic engineering because this method is highly efficient at producing flexible, low-cost and large-scale thin-film transistors. However, TFTs are typically constructed with rigid insulating layers consisting of oxides and nitrides that are brittle and require high processing temperatures, which can cause a number of problems when used in printed flexible TFTs. In this study, we address these issues and demonstrate a method of producing inkjet-printed TFTs that include an ultra-thin polymeric dielectric layer produced by initiated chemical vapor deposition (iCVD) at room temperature and highly purified 99.9% semiconducting carbon nanotubes. Our integrated approach enables the production of flexible logic circuits consisting of CNT-TFTs on a polyethersulfone (PES) substrate that have a high mobility (up to 9.76?cm(2) V(-1) sec(-)1), a low operating voltage (less than 4?V), a high current on/off ratio (3?×?10(4)), and a total device yield of 90%. Thus, it should be emphasized that this study delineates a guideline for the feasibility of producing flexible CNT-TFT logic circuits with high performance based on a low-cost and simple fabrication process.

Project description:The key impact and significance of a multilayer polymer-based dielectric system on the remarkable photoresponse properties of zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc)-based photosensitive organic field-effect transistors (PS-OFETs) have been systematically analyzed at various incident optical powers. A combination of inorganic aluminum oxide (Al2O3) and organic nonpolar poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is used as the bilayer dielectric configuration, whereas in the trilayer dielectric system, a bilayer polymer dielectric, consisting of PMMA, as the low-k dielectric polymer, on top of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), the high-k polar dielectric, has been fabricated along with Al2O3 as the third layer. Before fabricating the OFETs, a systematic optimization of the nature of growth of the ZnPc molecules, deposited on PMMA-coated glass substrates at different substrate temperatures (T s) was performed and examined by atomic-force microscopy, field-emission scanning electron microscopy, X-ray diffraction, and Raman analysis. At 90 °C, the fabricated PS-OFETs with the Al2O3/PVA/PMMA trilayer dielectric configuration showed the best p-channel behavior, with an enhanced and remarkable photoresponsivity of R ∼ 9689.39 A W-1 compared to that of the Al2O3/PMMA bilayer dielectric system (R ∼ 2679.40 A W-1) due to the polarization of the dipoles inside the polar PVA dielectric, which increases the charge transport through the channel. The charge carrier mobility of the device also improved by one order (μh ∼ 1.3 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s-1) compared to that of the bilayer dielectric configuration (μh ∼ 3.5 × 10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1). The observed specific detectivity (D*) and NEP values of the bilayer dielectric system were 6.01 × 1013 Jones and 2.655 × 10-17 W Hz-1/2, whereas for the trilayer dielectric system, the observed D* and NEP values were 5.13 × 1014 Jones and 1.043 × 10-17 W Hz-1/2, respectively. Additionally, the operating voltage of each of the fabricated devices was also very low (-10 V) due to the influence of the inorganic high-k Al2O3 dielectric layer. The electrical stability of all of the fabricated devices was also investigated by bias stress analysis under both light and dark conditions in vacuum. To the best of our knowledge, the photoresponsivity (R) reported here with an Al2O3/PVA/PMMA trilayer dielectric configuration is the highest reported value for thin film-based PS-OFETs, at a remarkably low operating voltage of -10 V, on low-cost glass substrates without indium tin oxide or/and Si/SiO2.

Project description:Bottom-gate all-aluminum thin film transistors with multi conductor/insulator nanometer heterojunction were investigated in this article. Alumina (Al₂O₃) insulating layer was deposited on the surface of aluminum doping zinc oxide (AZO) conductive layer, as one AZO/Al₂O₃ heterojunction unit. The measurements of transmittance electronic microscopy (TEM) and X-ray reflectivity (XRR) revealed the smooth interfaces between ~2.2-nm-thick Al₂O₃ layers and ~2.7-nm-thick AZO layers. The devices were entirely composited by aluminiferous materials, that is, their gate and source/drain electrodes were respectively fabricated by aluminum neodymium alloy (Al:Nd) and pure Al, with Al₂O₃/AZO multilayered channel and AlOx:Nd gate dielectric layer. As a result, the all-aluminum TFT with two Al₂O₃/AZO heterojunction units exhibited a mobility of 2.47 cm²/V·s and an Ion/Ioff ratio of 10⁶. All processes were carried out at room temperature, which created new possibilities for green displays industry by allowing for the devices fabricated on plastic-like substrates or papers, mainly using no toxic/rare materials.

Project description:Engineering metamaterials with tunable resonances are of great importance for improving the functionality and flexibility of terahertz (THz) systems. An ongoing challenge in THz science and technology is to create large-area active metamaterials as building blocks to enable efficient and precise control of THz signals. Here, an active metamaterial device based on enhancement-mode transparent amorphous oxide thin-film transistor arrays for THz modulation is demonstrated. Analytical modelling based on full-wave techniques and multipole theory exhibits excellent consistent with the experimental observations and reveals that the intrinsic resonance mode at 0.75?THz is dominated by an electric response. The resonant behavior can be effectively tuned by controlling the channel conductivity through an external bias. Such metal/oxide thin-film transistor based controllable metamaterials are energy saving, low cost, large area and ready for mass-production, which are expected to be widely used in future THz imaging, sensing, communications and other applications.
