Al Doped ZnO Thin Films; Preparation and Characterization

ZnO is a promising material suitable for variety of novel electronic applications including sensors, transistors, and solar cells. Intrinsic ZnO film has inferiority in terms of electronic properties, which has prompted researches and investigations on doped ZnO films in order to improve its electronic properties. In this work, aluminum (Al) doped ZnO (AZO) with various concentrations and undop...

Fabrication of MgF2-SiO2 Nanocomposite Thin Films and Investigation of Their Optical and Hydrophobic Properties

In this research, MgF2-2%SiO2/MgF2 thin films were applied on a glass substrate. At first, MgF2 thin films with the optical thickness were deposited on the glass slide substrates. Then, MgF2-2%SiO2 thin films were deposited on the glass coated with MgF2 thin films. Finally, the nanocomposite thin films were surface treated by the PFTS solution. Characterization of the thin film was done by X-Ra...

Thickness Dependence of Sensitivity in Thin Film Tin Oxide Gas Sensors Deposited by Vapor Pyrolysis

Transparent SnO2 thin films were deposited on porcelain substrates using a chemical vapor deposition technique based on the hydrolysis of SnCl4 at elevated temperatures. A reduced pressure self-contained evaporation chamber was designed for the process where the pyrolysis of SnCl4 at the presence of water vapor was carried out. Resistive gas sensors were fabricated by providing ohmic contacts o...

Magnetostrictive stress reconfigurable thin film resonators for near direct current magnetoelectric sensors

Design, Fabrication and Sensitivity Analysis of the Resistance Temperature Detector Thin Film Sensors

Thin film heat transfer sensors are most cost effective resistance temperature detector (RTD) sensors for dynamic temperature measurements mainly because of very fast response time (milliseconds or less). These sensors are prepared by deposited high conducting very sensitive gauge material (platinum/nickel/silver) on the insulating surface (pyrex/macor/quartz). The purpose of this work is to fa...
