Thin-film transistor

Nanocrystals (NCs) are interesting material, as their electrical and optical properties can be tuned by tuning their size or surface area. They have diverse applications in electrical devices. Nanocrystal thin film transistors (NC TFTs) have been intensively researched, because of their low-temperature processability.1,2 Colloidal NCs are synthesized in a liquid solution containing some stabilizing organic molecules, broadly termed as surfactants, which are bulky and insulating ligands. The individual NCs in the thin film are indeed separated by these ligands, which significantly inhibit the charge transport. One of the simple yet effective ways to enhance the electrical performance of NC TFTs is the ligand exchange approach,2,3 replacing the…

All Based on the p-type pentacene and n-type N,N′-ditridecylperylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic diimide (PTCDI-C13), low-voltage organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) and inverters using hafnium (Hf)-based dielectrics were produced…

4.1.2 Pipelined ADC The pipelined ADC is one of the most popular ADC architecture. The pipelined ADC architecture is similar to the sub-ranging ADC. The architecture of pipelined ADC is implemented by at least two or more low resolution flash ADCs. The pipelined ADC works from few M samples to more than hundred of M samples with resolution from 8 bit to 16 bits. Due to its high resolution and sampling rate range it is widely used in medical and communication applications like as CCD imaging,…

The rationale for using time scale is because a large number of chipless firms operating in the semiconductor industry entered the industry in the late 1980’s. The sample period represents a new dawn in the evolution of the semiconductor industry that incorporates cycles of fierce competition as well as phases of disintegration (Grindley&Teece, 1987). It coincides with a paradigmatic shift in the industry whereby complementary metal-oxide semiconductor (CMOS) replaced bipolar technology as the…

These have four wires on them (see Figure One-a). They are tricky to control because they require changing the direction of the current flow through the coils in the proper sequence. We will discuss these motors further when we get to the topic of DC motor control. * Unipolar motors, with two center-tapped coils which can be treated as four coils (see Figure One-b). These have six or eight (or sometimes five) wires, and can be controlled from a microprocessor with little more than four…

commercially sold cell phone in 1983 (Seward, 2013), advancements in technology have been able to reduce the size of cellular devices significantly. The size of the phone from 1983 was over 14 inches long, and it did not even have a screen (Seward 2013). The average size of a cell phone now is approximately 5.5 inches and it is 90% screen. That’s a 61% reduction in size! The problem now comes when people want more performance; therefore screen sizes are getting bigger again to accommodate more…

The replacement of these methods with electronic sensors has increased both the safety and reliability of gas detection. In addition, a wider variety of gases can be sensed and quantified. Despite these improvements, issues with sensors persist. Selectivity, the ability to differentiate between gases, proves a challenge, as do sensitivity to small gas concentration, repeat measurement stability, and cost. One possible way to compete with these challenges may be the carbon nanotube (CNT)…

He has predicted the birth of the home computer, electronic watch, autopilot cars, and a "personal mobile communicator" - mobile phone, But the 1965 paper on what was later called "Moore 's Law" really raised his fame. The main point of this paper is a timetable for the future of the computer industry. Based on the knowledge of semiconductor companies, Moore expects to double the number of transistors and other electronic components per chip per year. Moore subsequently founded Intel in Santa…

pulling it out at a constant speed into an atmosphere containing water vapour. In this atmosphere, hydrolysis and condensation takes place. Finally the films are hardened by a high temperature cycle to form transparent metal oxides. Any hydrolysable compound including halides or nitrates but preferably metallo-organics are suitable for this process. The important control parameters are the viscosity of the solution, the pulling speed and the firing temperature. The rate of heating also needs…

Based off of Folio discussion #1, my Naked Edge is still the same. According to the article, “The Highest Goal: The Secret that Sustains You in Every Moment”, the literal definition of the Naked Edge is the fourth pitch of a rock climb in Eldorado Canyon, Colorado. The fourth pitch of the rock climb is considered to be the hardest part to climb. This means that the fourth pitch is full of challenges and difficulties that you may encounter while climbing the fourth pitch. The metaphorical meaning…
