چکیده
We investigated the electrical and optoelectronic properties of a magnesium zinc oxide thin-film phototransistor. We fabricate an ultraviolet phototransistor by using a wide-bandgap MgZnO thin film as the active layer material of the thin film transistor (TFT). The fabricated device demonstrated a threshold voltage of 3.1 V, on-off current ratio of 10⁵, subthreshold swing of 0.8 V/decade, and mobility of 5 cm²/V·s in a dark environment. As a UV photodetector, the responsivity of the device was 3.12 A/W, and the rejection ratio was 6.55 × 10⁵ at a gate bias of -5 V under 290 nm illumination.

In this report, ultraviolet (UV) detectors were fabricated based on zinc oxide thin films. The epitaxial growth of zinc oxide thin films was carried out on bare glass substrate with preferred orientation to (002) plane of wurtzite structure through radio frequency sputtering technique. The structural properties indicated a dominant peak at 2θ=34.28º which was matched with JCPDS reference card N...

A multi–layer gadolinium–doped yttrium oxide thin film was deposited in a combinatorial fashion on a Si (001) substrate using radio–frequency magnetron sputtering. Alternating layers of Y2O3 and Gd were deposited for a total of 9 layers. The film was homogenized in composition by an 850 C 12 hour thermal treatment producing a range of composition from Y1.96Gd0.04O3 – Y1.54Gd0.46O3 in a single f...

The metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet (UV) photodetector was fabricated on the Mg(0.47)Zn(0.53)O layer grown by radio-frequency magnetron cosputtering. The photodetector shows the peak response at 290 nm with a cutoff wavelength at 312 nm. It exhibits a very low dark current of about 3 pA at 5 V bias, and the UV-visible rejection ratio (R = 290 nm/R = 400 nm) is more than 4 orders of magnit...
متن کاملReduced surface roughness of solid thin films prepared by alternating-bias, radio-frequency magnetron sputtering
Surface roughness that is associated with thin-film deposition has a direct effect on the optical, electrical, and mechanical quality of solid-thin-film devices. The effect of using alternating bias during rf-magnetron sputtering of SiO2 on Si substrate was investigated, and it was proven experimentally that modulating the plasma flow by means of alternating bias produces more even deposition o...

A metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet photodetector has been fabricated with a radiofrequency (RF)-sputtered InGaO thin film. Results for the devices fabricated under different oxygen partial pressure are here in discussed. Under low oxygen partial pressure, the devices work in the photoconductive mode because of the large number of subgap states. Therefore, the devices exhibit internal gain....
