Thin film transistors fabricated using Low Temperature Polycrystalline Silicon (LTPS) have several well-known advantages over those made with amorphous Silicon: higher electron mobility, smaller size, higher speed. However, LTPS has not been widely adopted due to the relatively high cost and low yield of the process relative to a-Si. We have investigated a laser annealing process that offers an improvement for both throughput and yield when compared to existing processes. The process uses a very narrow laser beam (∼5 microns) at high repetition rates to create large poly-Si crystals via lateral growth. The beam length is long enough to allow the substrate to be scanned in a single pass, resulting in better uniformity without any seams seen in multi-pass techniques. In this presentation, we will present results from a prototype system used to validate the critical elements of the process.

We investigated the electrical characteristics and digital data transmission performance few-layer graphene ribbons grown by chemical vapor deposition. Graphene ribbons having a mobility of 2,180 cm2V−1s−1 can sustain data rates up to 50 megabits per second at 1.5 µm length, thus the bandwidth is inversely proportional to resistance caused by defects in the graphene layers. Improving the graphene mobility to highest measured values (~200,000 cm2V−1s−1) and using structures with multiple coplanar transmission lines in parallel could carry the bandwidth beyond the gigabits per second level.

Dual spectral source assisted MOCVD is an ideal technique for the deposition of high dielectric constant materials as well as other electronic and optical materials. Tungsten halogen lamps and a deuterium lamp are used as the sources of optical and thermal energy. Ta2O5 films were deposited at 200°C for 30 minutes and annealed at 600°C for 30 minutes have shown leakage current densities as low as 10−10 A/ cm2 for gate voltage under 5V. To the best of our knowledge, these are the best results reported to date by other researchers. The high energy photons used in the in-situ cleaning and deposition process play an important role in obtaining high quality films of Ta2O5.

Metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) tools are integral to many technologies, including the growth of high-efficiency multijunction III-V solar cells. Veeco MOCVD has recently developed new tool designs that allow increased MOCVD growth rates that could drastically increase solar cell throughput and reduce manufacturing costs. It is important, however, to understand the trade-offs between increased throughput and decreased material quality and device performance. We fabricate multijunction III-V solar cells from materials grown by both standard and fast growth rate techniques. We analyze the open circuit voltage, short circuit current, fill factor, efficiency, and ideality factor of both types of devices. Comparison of these devices reveals that the existing fast growth protocols result in solar cells with similar performance to standard growth cells. The results suggest that increased growth rates can enable higher throughput fabrication of solar cells without significant performance sacrifices.

Poly(Ε-caprolactone) (PCL) films have been applied for vascular tissue engineering. However, few studies studied the effects of fabrication process of PCL film on vascular cell proliferation. In this study, we used different processing methods, incorporating stretching, to fabricate various PCL films. Thickness of films before and after stretch and proliferation ability of human fetal mesenchymal stem cells (hfMSCs) on these films were investigated. Our results showed that stretching significantly reduces the thickness of solvent cast, heat press and cast stretch films (0.22, 0.59, 0.60, p

We investigated the electrical properties and transmission line performance of indium antimonide nanowires. The results indicate that the of nanowires suffer from low mobility values on the order of 10-to-15 cm2V-1s-1 because of the contact resistances, scattering due to their small diameters, crystal defects and oxidation occurs during growth and cooling. nanowires show extremely inductive behavior during the AC measurements and due to these parasitic parameters, they can sustain transmission for the signals having frequencies up to 10 MHz. The bandwidth of the nanowires is directly proportional to the diameter of the nanowires. Improving the mobility to higher values and introducing de-embedding and impedance matching to the measurements and analysis could easily carry the bandwidth beyond GHz levels.
