Systematic study of transparent conductors in the (zinc, gallium)-indium-tin oxide systems

Hydrogen Bistability as the Origin of Photo-Bias-Thermal Instabilities in Amorphous Oxide Semiconductors

The lack of transparency and high temperature processing in silicon-based electronics prevent their applications in transparent Zinc-based metal oxide semiconductors have attracted attention as an alternative to current silicon-based semiconductors for applications in transparent and fl exible electronics. Despite this, metal oxide transistors require signifi cant improvements in performance an...

Solution-Processed Flexible Transparent Conductors Composed of Silver Nanowire Networks Embedded in Indium Tin Oxide Nanoparticle Matrices

Although silver nanowire meshes have already demonstrated sheet resistance and optical transmittance comparable to those of sputter-deposited indium tin oxide thin films, other critical issues including surface morphology, mechanical adhesion and flexibility have to be addressed before widely employing silver nanowire networks as transparent conductors in optoelectronic devices. Here, we demons...

Passivation of Amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc Oxide (IGZO) Thin-Film Transistors

Novel Highly Conductive and Transparent Graphene-Based Conductors

Transparent conductors based on few-layer graphene (FLG) intercalated with ferric chloride (FeCl(3)) have an outstandingly low sheet resistance and high optical transparency. FeCl(3)-FLGs outperform the current limit of transparent conductors such as indium tin oxide, carbon-nanotube films, and doped graphene materials. This makes FeCl(3)-FLG materials the best transparent conductor for optoele...

Films of Carbon Nanomaterials for Transparent Conductors

The demand for transparent conductors is expected to grow rapidly as electronic devices, such as touch screens, displays, solid state lighting and photovoltaics become ubiquitous in our lives. Doped metal oxides, especially indium tin oxide, are the commonly used materials for transparent conductors. As there are some drawbacks to this class of materials, exploration of alternative materials ha...
