GaN-based high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) is a promising candidate for high-power and high-frequency applications due to it unique material properties. A low contact resistance (Rc) is curicial for the device performance including output power, high-efficiency, high-frequency and noise performances. Ti-based low-resistance ohmic contacts in AlGaN/GaN HEMT devices require high-temperature annealing (>800 oC) which can deteriorate material quality, surface morphology, and edge acuity of the metal stacks which makes it difficult to carry out further operations to form the gate region. Recently, non-alloyed ohmic contact which are not required high temperature post annealing have become a novel approach to form ohmic contacts. Aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films are widely used as a reliable electrode material for electronic and opto-electronic. ALD grown AZO films, which show a low electrical resistance, smooth surface morphology and suitable bandgap of 3.3 eV could be an alternative way of forming ohmic contacts for GaN based HEMT structures.This study focused on ALD grown AZO ohmic contacts and their comparison of alloyed and non-alloyed ohmic contacts GaN/AlGaN HEMT. Contact morphologies and contact resistance were investigated for AZO ohmic contacts, alloyed and non-alloyed ohmic contacts. Comparison of output characteristics of the fabricated HEMT devices was also performed.

Alkyl-end phenanthroimidazole modification of benzotriazole based conjugated polymers for optoelectronic applications Cevher, Şevki Can; Keles, Duygu; Hızalan, Gonul; Toppare, Levent Kamil; Çırpan, Ali (2018-10-01) A new triazoloquinoxaline and benzodithiophene based copolymer was synthesized to investigate its electrochemical, optical and photovoltaic behaviors. According to the polymer design, combination of two acceptor units (benzotriazole and quinoxaline) which contribute imine bonds to the structure and a triazoloquinoxaline unit for enhancing electron accepting ability was pursued. As a result of electrochemical studies, the copolymer PTQBDT has a low lying HOMO energy level as −5.23 eV which increases the chem...
Flavin as a photo-active acceptor for efficient energy and charge transfer in a model donor-acceptor system Yu, Xi; Eymur, Serkan; Singh, Vijay; Yang, Boqian; Tonga, Murat; Bheemaraju, Amarnath; Cooke, Graeme; Subramani, Chandramouleeswaran; Venkataraman, Dhandapani; Stanley, Robert J.; Rotello, Vincent M. (2012-01-01) A donor-acceptor dyad model system using a flavin moiety as a photo-active acceptor has been synthesized for an energy and photo-induced electron transfer study. The photophysical investigations of the dyad revealed a multi-path energy and electron transfer process with a very high transfer efficiency. The photo-activity of flavin was believed to play an important role in the process, implying the potential application of flavin as a novel acceptor molecule for photovoltaics.
Structural characterization of intrinsic a-Si:H thin films for silicon heterojunction solar cells Pehlivan, O.; Yilmaz, O.; Kodolbas, A. O.; Duygulu, O.; Tomak, Mehmet (2013-01-01) We have utilized ex-situ spectroscopic ellipsometry and HRTEM to characterize the optical and structural properties of intrinsic a-Si:H thin layer that plays a key role for the improvement of the open circuit voltage in silicon heterojunction solar cells. Intrinsic a-Si:H films were deposited on (100) p-type CZ silicon wafers by using Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technique at 225 degrees C substrate temperature and deposition time ranges from 15 s to 1800 s. Observed changes in the imag...
NLL-Assisted Multilayer Graphene Patterning Kovalska, Evgeniya; Pavlov, Ihor; Deminskyi, Petro; Baldycheva, Anna; Ilday, F. Omer; Kocabas, Coskun (2018-02-01) The range of applications of diverse graphene-based devices could be limited by insufficient surface reactivity, unsatisfied shaping, or null energy gap of graphene. Engineering the graphene structure by laser techniques can adjust the transport properties and the surface area of graphene, providing devices of different nature with a higher capacitance. Additionally, the created periodic potential and appearance of the active external/inner/edge surface centers determine the multifunctionality of the graphe...
