Different semiconducting types are applied in various fields of the semiconductor industry: organic, inorganic and hybrid. Each of these semiconducting types of materials have their own strengths as well as their weakness. Inorganic materials possess low absorption and high carrier mobility while organic materials possess high absorption and low carrier mobility. Inorganic/organic hybrid semiconducting devices take advantage of the mixing of these two types of semiconductors. By building a heterojunction with inorganic and organic materials, the advantages of each individual material is passes onto this new hybrid while cancelling out the disadvantages. In this master thesis, the fabrication procedure and characterization techniques are studied for inorganic, organic and hybrid semiconducting devices. For the inorganic materials, fabrication was performed in the MicroFabrication Facility in order to properly achieve small features in the micrometer range. Device processing was performed to achieve a high-electron mobility transistor using AlGaN/GaN and AlInN/GaN heterostructures. The fabrication procedure involved the defining of features through photolithography, ion mill etching, and electron-beam evaporation. Electrical characterization was performed on both heterostructures to make a comparison. The organic device studied was a photoconductor using the conducting polymer P3HT and an optical and electro-optic comparison was made with the addition of MWCNT into the polymer matrix. A hybrid pn-junction diode was fabricated using P3HT and electrical measurements were performed and analyzed through an equivalent circuit to characterize and compare it to a P3HT:MWCNT active layer for the pn-junction.
We have developed and studied selected properties of a novel type of inorganic-organic hybrid semiconductor materials in order to enhance the functionality over their parent structures. Since inorganic organic hybrid semiconductor materials are composed of both inorganic and organic segments, one may expect them to have the advantage of combining the excellent electrical, optical, thermal and transport properties from the inorganic component with the flexibility, processability and structural diversity from the organic component. As a continuing effort, we have synthesized, modified, and characterized a number of selected structures with potential for solid state lighting applications. For example, we have developed the first inorganic organic semiconductor bulk material, double layered 2D-Cd2Q2(ba)(Q=S, Se), capable of producing direct white light. This type of materials could be promising for use as a single-material white-light-emitting source in white LEDs. Luminescence properties of these hybrid semiconductors can be tuned systematically by changing their composition and doping level. In addition, a thin pellet of one of our hybrid semiconductor materials without any modifications showed low electrical conductivity. Significant improvement may be anticipated with modifications. Solution processed deposition techniques provide great opportunities for optical and optoelectronic devices, such as displays, solid state lighting, and solar cells, because it enables to fabricate flexible devices with low-cost and large area fabrications. Most semiconductors show very low solubility in organic solvents, thus limiting the opportunities to prepare thin films using soluble precursors. In this study, we have developed a simple, efficient, and low-cost solution-processed deposition route to fabricate metal chalcogenide semiconductor thin films by using soluble precursors via a spin-coating technique. Surface morphology was directly influenced by the choice of organic solvents as well as the spin-coating sequences, thus affecting the electrical transport of the films. In the case of hybrid semiconductors, a conducting polymer was employed to help forming more uniform composite films.
Provides first-hand insights into advanced fabrication techniques for solution processable organic electronics materials and devices The field of printable organic electronics has emerged as a technology which plays a major role in materials science research and development. Printable organic electronics soon compete with, and for specific applications can even outpace, conventional semiconductor devices in terms of performance, cost, and versatility. Printing techniques allow for large-scale fabrication of organic electronic components and functional devices for use as wearable electronics, health-care sensors, Internet of Things, monitoring of environment pollution and many others, yet-to-be-conceived applications. The first part of Solution-Processable Components for Organic Electronic Devices covers the synthesis of: soluble conjugated polymers; solution-processable nanoparticles of inorganic semiconductors; high-k nanoparticles by means of controlled radical polymerization; advanced blending techniques yielding novel materials with extraordinary properties.

The book provides in-depth knowledge for experienced researchers and for those entering the field. It comprises 12 chapters focused on: ? novel organic electronics components synthesis and solution-based processing techniques ? advanced analysis of mechanisms governing charge carrier generation and transport in organic semiconductors and devices ? fabrication techniques and characterization methods of organic electronic devices Providing coverage of the state of the art of organic electronics, Solution-Processable Components for Organic Electronic Devices is an excellent book for materials scientists, applied physicists, engineering scientists, and those working in the electronics industry.
Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and molecular layer deposition (MLD) are advanced thin film coating techniques developed for deposition of inorganic and hybrid organic-inorganic films respectively. Decreasing device dimensions and increasing aspect ratios in semiconductor processing has motivated developments in ALD. The beginning of this thesis will cover study of new ALD chemistry for high dielectric constant Y 2 O3 . In addition, the feasibility of conducting low temperature ALD of TiN and TiAlN is explored using highly reactive hydrazine as a new nitrogen source. Developments of these ALD processes are important for the electronics industry. As the search for new materials with more advanced properties continues, attention has shifted toward exploring the synthesis of hierarchically nanostructured thin films. Such complex architectures can provide novel functions important to the development of state of the art devices for the electronics industry, catalysis, energy conversion and memory storage as a few examples. Therefore, the main focus of this thesis is on the growth, characterization, and post-processing of ALD and MLD films for fabrication of novel composite (nanostructured) thin films. Novel composite materials are created by annealing amorphous ALD oxide alloys in air and by heat treatment of hybrid organic-inorganic MLD films in inert atmosphere (pyrolysis). The synthesis of porous TiO2 or Al2 O3 supported V2 O5 for enhanced surface area catalysis was achieved by the annealing of inorganic TiVx Oy and AlV x Oy ALD films in air. The interplay between phase separation, surface energy difference, crystallization, and melting temperature of individual oxides were studied for their control of film morphology. In other work, a class of novel metal oxide-graphitic carbon composite thin films was produced by pyrolysis of MLD hybrid organic-inorganic films. For example, annealing in argon of titania based hybrid films enabled fabrication of thin films of intimately mixed TiO2 and nanographitized carbon. The graphitized carbon in the film was formed as a result of the removal of hydrogen by pyrolysis of the organic constituency of the MLD film. The presence of graphitic carbon allowed a 14 orders of magnitude increase in the electrical conductivity of the composite material compared fully oxidized rutile TiO2 .
