ZnO Thin Film-Based New Electroless Metal Deposition

ZnO-based transparent thin-film transistors

Highly transparent ZnO-based thin-film transistors ~TFTs! are fabricated with optical transmission ~including substrate! of ;75% in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. Current– voltage measurements indicate n-channel, enhancement-mode TFT operation with excellent drain current saturation and a drain current on-to-off ratio of ;10. Threshold voltages and channel mobilities of de...

Study on the hydrogenated ZnO-based thin film transistors

Nanostructured Iron-nickel Thin Films Synthesized by Electroless Polyol Deposition

FexNi100-x thin films were deposited on conductive (Cu) and non-conductive (Pd activated glass) substrate using an electroless, polyol method. The stoichiometry of film composition, as compared to the precursor concentration, strongly depended on the substrate position. When the substrate was immersed in the refluxing solution, Fe-deficient films were deposited. However Fe-rich films were synth...

Exploration of ZnO and ZnMgO/ZnO Thin Film Transistors

Substrate-enhanced electroless deposition of metal nanoparticles on carbon nanotubes.

By simply supporting carbon nanotubes with a metal substrate of a redox potential lower than that of the metal ions to be reduced into nanoparticles, we have developed a facile yet versatile and effective substrate-enhanced electroless deposition (SEED) method for functionalizing nanotubes with a large variety of metal nanoparticles, including those otherwise impossible by more conventional ele...
