Fabrication process device

The cost of a PV device is determined by several factors. These include the kind of materials used and the amount of materials requited, choice of substrates, device design, and fabrication processes. Crystalline devices ate generally mote efficient, but thin-film devices ate anticipated to cost less in flat-plate configurations. The use of concentrated light permits retention of efficiency with simultaneous reduction in cost. 

This article focuses primarily on the properties of the most extensively studied III—V and II—VI compound semiconductors and is presented in five sections (/) a brief summary of the physical (mechanical and electrical) properties of the 2incblende cubic semiconductors (2) a description of the metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) process.

Ferroelectric Thin-Film Devices. Since 1989, the study of ferroelectric thin films has been an area of increasing growth. The compositions studied most extensively are in the PZT/PLZT family, although BaTiO, KNbO, and relaxor ferroelectric materials, such as PMN and PZN, have also been investigated. Solution deposition is the most frequentiy utilized fabrication process, because of the lower initial capital investment cost, ease of film fabrication, and the excellent dielectric and ferroelectric properties that result. 

Material Processing. There are many types of dmg deHvery systems and the manufactuting of each system consists of fabricating a device as weU as loading the dmg and other excipients iato this device. The dmg can be iatroduced iato various components of the system by physical and chemical means, and at various stages of system fabrication (150). 

Many of the fabrication processes for iategrated circuits are similar or coaceptuaHy related to those used ia the manufacture of ptinted wiring boards. However, because of the extremely fine device features, fabrication must be carried out ia clean rooms having strictly controlled environments. Particulate and chemical contamination are minimized, and temperature, humidity, and even vibration are carefully controlled. 

The geometry of modern semiconductor devices is continuously shrinking and will soon reach the 0.20 im bench mark, with great increase in speed and efficiency. To accomplish this goal requires major advances in materials and fabrication processes. Many obstacles remain and one of the most critical is that of solid-state diffusion and the development of diffusion barriers. OPO]... 

The proposed technique seems to be rather promising for the formation of electronic devices of extremely small sizes. In fact, its resolution is about 0.5-0.8 nm, which is comparable to that of molecular beam epitaxy. However, molecular beam epitaxy is a complicated and expensive technique. All the processes are carried out at 10 vacuum and repair extrapure materials. In the proposed technique, the layers are synthesized at normal conditions and, therefore, it is much less expansive. The presented results had demonstrated the possibility of the formation of superlattices with this technique. The next step will be the fabrication of devices based on these superlattices. To begin with, two types of devices wiU be focused on. The first will be a resonant tunneling diode. In this case the quantum weU will be surrounded by two quantum barriers. In the case of symmetrical structure, the resonant...

It is important to note that the entire NW-TFT device fabrication process is performed essentially at room temperature. Therefore, the assembly of high-performance NW-TFTs can be readily applied to low-cost glass and plastic substrates. It has been demonstrated, for example, that NW-TFTs can be fabricated on plastic substrates (Fig. 11.14d) with carrier mobilities comparable with those made on silicon substrates. Moreover, studies demonstrate that... 

Recently, Jen s group synthesized a series of high Tg fluorinated polymers with a hole transporting TPA group covalently attached as side chains (55) (Scheme 3.21) [99]. This type of polymer can be processed into thin films by simple thermal cyclopolymerization without introducing any by-products [100]. The polymers (56, 57) are insoluble in most organic solvents and can be conveniently streamlined into a multilayer device fabrication process [101,102]. The...
