Fabrication of Thin-Film LAPS with Amorphous Silicon
نویسندگان
چکیده
To improve the spatial resolution of the light-addressable potentiometric sensor (LAPS), it is necessary to reduce the thickness of the semiconductor layer, which, however, causes a problem of the mechanical strength of the sensor plate. In this study, a thin-film LAPS was fabricated with amorphous silicon (a-Si) deposited on a transparent glass substrate. The current-voltage characteristics and pH sensitivity of the fabricated a-Si LAPS were investigated.

Optical absorption enhancement of thin-film amorphous silicon induced by femtosecond laser pulses for solar cell fabrication
In this paper, we present a new method for direct-write laser fabrication of thin-film amorphous silicon (a-Si) on crystalline silicon substrate induced by femtosecond laser irradiation. Using megahertz frequency femtosecond laser pulses makes it possible to control laser fluence in the amorphization range of silicon under ambient condition. Finally, a thin-film of amorphous silicon is generate...
متن کاملAmorphous Si TFTs on Plastically-Deformed Spherical Domes
There is a growing interest in the design and fabrication of flexible and rugged electronics particularly for large-area displays and sensor arrays. In this work, we describe the fabrication of amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin film transistors (TFTs) on a Kapton substrate which can be permanently deformed into a spherical cap shape. This level of strain would crack uniform a-Si:H device films. ...

Amorphous silicon (a-Si) thin film transistors (TFT’s) were fabricated on free-standing, clear plastic substrates with a maximum process temperature of up to 250°C. An a-Si TFT backplane for active matrix OLED (AMOLED) application was also made on such substrates. The performance of both the TFT’s and the AMOLED backplane are excellent. These results will enable the fabrication of flexible AMLC...
