MgZnO High Voltage Thin Film Transistors on Glass for Inverters in Building Integrated Photovoltaics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Building integrated photovoltaics (BIPV) have attracted considerable interests because of its aesthetically attractive appearance and overall low cost. In BIPV, system integration on a glass substrate like windows is essential to cover a large area of a building with low cost. However, the conventional high voltage devices in inverters have to be built on the specially selected single crystal substrates, limiting its application for large area electronic systems, such as the BIPV. We demonstrate a Magnesium Zinc Oxide (MZO) based high voltage thin film transistor (HVTFT) built on a transparent glass substrate. The devices are designed with unique ring-type structures and use modulated Mg doping in the channel - gate dielectric interface, resulting in a blocking voltage of over 600 V. In addition to BIPV, the MZO HVTFT based inverter technology also creates new opportunities for emerging self-powered smart glass.

متن کاملReliability study of organic complementary logic inverters using constant voltage stress
We performed constant voltage stresses with different bias conditions on all-organic complementary inverters. We found a 20% maximum variation of DC inverter parameters after a 10-s stress. However, the largest stress-induced degradation was found in the delay times, which increased by a factor as high as 7. This is mainly due to the threshold voltage variation of the p-type thin-film-transisto...
