In this study, the crystallization of Ge thin film by soft X-ray irradiation and the improvement of interface property of poly-Ge/SiO2 in poly-Ge TFT by atomic hydrogen annealing (AHA) are investigated for realization of high-performance poly-Ge TFT. The drain current (Id) did not depend on the gate voltage (Vg) before AHA treatment. However, as the AHA treatment time increased, the Id decreased and the Id came to depend on Vg. The on/off ratio of 10 was obtained by AHA for 360 min. It is found that the defect density in poly-Ge film and at poly-Ge/SiO2 interface can be reduced by AHA slightly.","PeriodicalId":243757,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121298825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The luminescence intensity is correlated to the quality of absorber or junction and suitable to be developed as monitors of device property during process. Photoluminescence (PL) and Electroluminescence (EL) are most common luminescence metrologies and they can help to identify the band gap, defect level, defect density, radiative recombination coefficient, junction quality, and implied open circuit voltage (Voc). The 2D PL/EL image can help to evaluate the uniformity and physical defect information such as crack, contact disconnection, shunting points, serious resistance distribution, and impurity. The failure analysis of long-term reliability test (light illumination and thermal stress) by the combination of PL/EL technology can help to identify the key root cause. The qualitative analysis of PL/EL metrologies can apply for process correlation to stabilize the production line and/or further improve the efficiency.","PeriodicalId":243757,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD)","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121512473","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The well-alignment energy level of CGL played an important role in controlling the conduction-path of a hole carrier for our device (i.e., electron-rich type), which effectively blocked the injection carrier at the interface of the anode/CGL. The proposed up-converter used was a device configuration of ITO/CGL/1,1-bis(di-4-tolylaminophenyl) cyclohexane/4,4'-Bis(N-carbazolyl)-1,1'-biphenyl doped with fac-tris (2-phenylpyridine) iridium (III)/2-phenyl-9-(3-(2-phenyl-1,10-phenanthrolin-9-yl)phenyl)-1,10-phenanthroline/CS2CO3/Ag to provide a green emission under NIR illumination. As a result, an optimal device with a current gain as high as 10 000 (i.e., on-off ratio from dark to light testing) at a driving voltage of 3 V was successfully achieved. In addition, our transparent device (i.e., device with ultra-thin cathode of ~ 12 nm Ag) was proposed from a clear three-dimensional image of a real object with a high resolution of 420 dots per inch, indicating the high sensitivity of this organic device for NIR sensing.","PeriodicalId":243757,"journal":{"name":"2015 22nd International Workshop on Active-Matrix Flatpanel Displays and Devices (AM-FPD)","volume":"55 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134243376","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
