In this study, a low-temperature processing from aqueous solution was devsloped for formation of Ihin crystalline Znofilms for TFTs Ihat can be fabricated on flexible substrates. These solution based Zno Ihin films exhibited a nanocrystalline structure wilhlhe electrical resistivity of _10-2 ohm cm. It also revealed that the bulk precipitation and its clustering behavior in lhe solution would tailorlhe nano- and microstructure developrnent and ultimately gOl,\9rn lhe performance of lhe Zno films. Further, in an effort to correlate thestructure-property relations, a variety of combinations of lhe precursor solutions and processing parameters were employed. Inparticular, lhe mobility and on/off ratio of lhe TFT devices fabricated from the Zno films will be presented in Ihis talk.F6.23High Yield Solution Synthesis of lnO Nanowires and Films using a Microreactor. Kevin Michael McPeak and Jason B Baxter;Chemical & Biological Engineering, Drexel University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.Chemical bath deposition (CBD) is an inexpensive, low temperature, aqueous melhod for depositing oxide and chalcogenide Ihin filmsand nanowire arrays. However, precipitation in solution competes wilh deposition on lhe substrate, frequently resulting in yields of lessIhan 5% and excesslve waste solvsnt. Here we report on a n01,\91microreactor design where lhe substrate serves as one reactor walland lhe chemical bath is contained wilhin a sub-millimeter channel. This high surface-to-volume microreactor design eliminates masstransport limitations and reduces homogenous precipitation. Heating occurs through the back side of lhe substrate rather IhanIhroughout the chemical balh, wilh lhe resulting temperature drop across lhe balh slowing precipitation kinetics as well as deposition onlhe reactor walls. Furlhermore, the low thermal mass of the microreactor allows for rapid heating, which reduces the induction time fornucleation. Tight process control and small transport lenglh scales facilitate careful study of lhe Ihermodynamics and kinetics ofdeposition. In Ihis paper, we will present results on microreactor solution deposition of Zno thin films and nanowires. Zno is a wide bandgap semiconductor that has applications as a transparent conducting oxide, as well as in high frequency transparent electronics,emitters, sensors, photocatalysis, and nanostructured solar cells. Zno was deposited from aqueous solutions of zinc nitrate andmelhanamine at 90 C. Nanowires were grown wilh 0.025 M concentrations of each precursor, while continuous films can be grown bydoubling lhe concentrations. In each case, substrates were pre-seeded wilh a c-axis oriented, Ihin « 40 nm), polycrystalline Zno filmby dip coating in zinc acetate solution and subsequently annealing in a humidity-controlled environment. Dense arrays of well-alignedsingle crystal nanowires wilh diameters of 80-100 nm and lenglhs of -1 micron can be grown in a single batch deposition. Nanowiresgrew to -250 nm in length within lhe initial 15 minutes of growth which is over four times longer than nanowires grown in a CBD reactorin lhe same amount of time. Deposition yields of 40-80% have been determined for nanowire growth by image analysis of SEMmicrographs and by lnductivs Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS) of acid-digested nanowire arrays. These microreactordeposition yields are typically an order of magnitude higher than yields using CBD wilh lhe same chemistry. In addition to higher yield,nanowires grown in the microreactor show stronger LN band edge photoluminesence and less defect luminescence Ihan CBDnanowires.F6.24Abstract WithdrawnF6.25Layer-by-Iayer Deposition of Utrathin Ceramic Films by Spin Coating. Edson R. Leite 1 and Caue Ribeir02; 1Chemistry, FederalUnil,\9rsity of Sao Carlos, Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo, Brazil; 2EMBRAPA, Sao Carlos, Sao Paulo, Brazil.This work describes lhe combined use of nanocrystal water-based colloidal dispersion wilh spin coating deposition in order to obtainultralhin ceramic films. We have used tin oxide (Sn02) and antimony doped Ihin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles, wilh particle size rangingfrom 1nm to 6 nm, to devslop the deposition approach. The films obtained in different deposition condition (solution concentration,speed rotation and deposition time) were characterized by elipsometry, electron microscopy (FE-SEM and TEMlHRTEM) and atomicforce microscopy, showing that the process has the ability to produce ultralhin ceramic films, wilh Ihickness ranging from 10-100nm,wilh good particle packing. Additionally, electrical measurement in lhe films indicates good homogeneity and potential for variousapplications.F6.26Spin-spray Plated Ferrite Films with Controlling the Crystalline Orientation by Underlayers. Hajime Wagata 1, Masaru Tada2,Masanori Abe2, Masahiro Yoshimura 1 and Nobuhiro Matsushita 1; 1Electronic Chemistry, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Yokohama,Japan; 2Physical Electronics, Tokyo Institute of Technology, Tokyo, Japan.The spin-spray ferrite plating method enables us to deposit spinel ferrite films at I,\9ry low temperature of 100 degree C just by sprayingaqueous solutions to lhe substrate wilhout post-deposition heat treatrnent. In spite of a low process temperature, lhe deposited films (lheintermediate between Fe304 and y-Fe203) are highly crystallized and exhibit saturation magnetization of 400-480 emu/cm3 as large aslhe bulk ferrite sintered at 1200 degree C, and coercivity of 20-100 Oe. Their real permeabilities of a few tens up to hundreds MHz iscomparable to Ihose of films prepared by lhe sputtering and lhe pulse-Iaser-deposition melhods which require a high processtemperature above 600 degree C. We reported that lhe spin-sprayed ferrite films would be applicable as lhe conducted noisesuppressor on lhe printed circuit boards in lhe mobile computers and cellular phones utilizing their large magnetic loss in a severaí GHzrange. These excellent properties are also attributed to the columnar structure of films, which are grown perpendicular to lhe substratesurface wilh a diameter of few hundred nanometers. In addition to lhe columnar structures, the crystallite orientation is also importantfor spinel ferrite films to control their magnetic properties. For example, (111)-orientated spinel ferrite films could exhibit highpermeability due to a I,\9ry small magnetic anisotropy field in film plane, since the first order of magnetic anisotropy constant K1vanished. In this study, we investiqated lhe control of crystallite orientation of ferrite films by using various kinds of under layers such assputtered titan metal and nickel oxide underlayers, and solution-processed zinc oxide underlayer on glass substrates. The ferrite (lheintermediate between Fe304 and y-Fe203) film was prepared by spin-spray technique using a reaction solution containing 20 mM ofFeCI2 and an oxidizing aqueous solution containing 65 mM of KCH3COO and 5.0 mM of KN02. They were sprayed simultaneously atlhe supplying rate of 50 mUmin onto lhe substrates fixed on a turning table keeping lhe temperature at 90 degree C. The crystalstructure and orientation were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and lhe morphology of lhe films was observed by scanning24 de 38 13/01/200920:09
