Presentation Summary

  • Nanocrystalline ZnO thin films can be used both as transparent conductors
and semiconductors
  • Highly stable ZnO thin film transistors (TFT) were fabricated using
Pulsed Laser Deposition technique
  • Very high current drive capabilities (800mA/mm), excellent on/off
characteristics (1E12), and microwave signal amplification was demonstrated
