Journal Article
Lee, M., Pearson, C., Moon, T., Fisher, A., & Petty, M. (2014). Switching and memory characteristics of thin films of an ambipolar organic compound: effects of device processing and electrode materials. Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics, 47(48), https://doi.org/10.1088/0022-3727/47/48/485103

We report on the effects of device processing conditions, and of changing the electrode materials, on the switching and negative differential resistance (NDR) behaviour of metal/organic thin film/metal structures. The organic material was an ambipola... Read More about Switching and memory characteristics of thin films of an ambipolar organic compound: effects of device processing and electrode materials.

Zinc oxide thin-film transistors fabricated at low temperature by chemical spray pyrolysis (2014)
Journal Article
Jeong, Y., Pearson, C., Lee, Y., Winchester, L., Hwang, J., Kim, H., …Petty, M. (2014). Zinc oxide thin-film transistors fabricated at low temperature by chemical spray pyrolysis. Journal of Electronic Materials, 43(11), 4241-4245. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11664-014-3342-8

We report the electrical behavior of undoped zinc oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) fabricated by low-temperature chemical spray pyrolysis. An aerosol system utilizing aerodynamic focusing was used to deposit the ZnO. Polycrystalline films were subs...

UV-assisted low temperature oxide dielectric films for TFT applications (2014)
Journal Article
Hwang, J., Lee, K., Jeong, J., Lee, Y., Pearson, C., Petty, M., & Kim, H. (2014). UV-assisted low temperature oxide dielectric films for TFT applications. Advanced Materials Interfaces, 1(8), Article 1400206. https://doi.org/10.1002/admi.201400206

Solution-based oxide gate dielectric layers are prepared from metal nitrates using UV-assisted annealing at 150 °C. The leakage current densities of ZrO2 and Al2O3 dielectrics are less than about 10-9 A/cm2 at 1 MV/cm and comparable to those formed b...
