    Abstract: Transparent ohmic contacts to p-GaN and other high-work-function (≧4.2 eV) semiconductors are fabricated from zinc stannate (e.g., ZnSnO3). ZnO and SnO2 may be sputtered from separate targets and annealed to form the zinc stannate. The Zn:Sn ratio may be tuned over the range between 1:2 and 2:1 to optimize bandgap, work function, conductivity, and transparency for the particular semiconductor and wavelength of interest. Conductivity may be improved by crystallizing the zinc stannate, by doping with up to 5 wt % Al or In, or both.

    Abstract: A co-sputter technique is used to deposit In—Ga—Zn—O films using PVD. The films are deposited in an atmosphere including both oxygen and argon. A heater setpoint of about 300 C results in a substrate temperature of about 165 C. One target includes an alloy of In, Ga, Zn, and O with an atomic ratio of In:Ga:Zn of about 1:1:1. The second target includes a compound of zinc oxide. The films exhibit the c-axis aligned crystalline (CAAC) phase in an as-deposited state, without the need of a subsequent anneal treatment.

    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide method for forming crystalline indium-gallium-zinc oxide (IGZO) with intra-layer variations and methods for forming such IGZO. At least a portion of a substrate is positioned in a processing chamber. A first sub-layer of an IGZO layer is formed above the at least a portion of the substrate while the at least a portion of the substrate is in the processing chamber. The first sub-layer of the IGZO layer is formed using a first set of processing conditions. A second sub-layer of the IGZO layer is formed above the first sub-layer of the IGZO layer while the at least a portion of the substrate is in the processing chamber. The second sub-layer of the IGZO layer is formed using a second set of processing conditions. The second set of processing conditions is different than the first set of processing conditions.

The magnetic fluid layer may include magnetic particles. The reflective layer may include a conductive material configured to conduct an electrical current and generate a magnetic field. The magnetic field may be configured to change an orientation of the magnetic particles in the magnetic fluid layer and a transmissivity of the magnetic fluid layer within a visible spectrum. The low emissivity panels may also include a first bus and a second bus deposited along opposite edges of the reflective layer and electrically connected to the reflective layer.

    Abstract: Provided is High Productivity Combinatorial (HPC) testing methodology of semiconductor substrates, each including multiple site isolated regions. The site isolated regions are used for testing different compositions and/or structures of barrier layers disposed over silver reflectors. The tested barrier layers may include all or at least two of nickel, chromium, titanium, and aluminum. In some embodiments, the barrier layers include oxygen. This combination allows using relative thin barrier layers (e.g., 5-30 Angstroms thick) that have high transparency yet provide sufficient protection to the silver reflector. The amount of nickel in a barrier layer may be 5-10% by weight, chromium—25-30%, titanium and aluminum—30%-35% each. The barrier layer may be co-sputtered in a reactive or inert-environment using one or more targets that include all four metals. An article may include multiple silver reflectors, each having its own barrier layer.

    Abstract: Provided are semiconductor devices, such as resistive random access memory (ReRAM) cells, that include current limiting layers formed from doped metal oxides and/or nitrides. These current limiting layers may have resistivities of at least about 1 Ohm-cm. This resistivity level is maintained even when the layers are subjected to strong electrical fields and/or high temperature annealing. In some embodiments, the breakdown voltage of a current limiting layer may be at least about 8V. Some examples of such current limiting layers include titanium oxide doped with niobium, tin oxide doped with antimony, and zinc oxide doped with aluminum. Dopants and base materials may be deposited as separate sub-layers and then redistributed by annealing or may be co-deposited using reactive sputtering or co-sputtering. The high resistivity of the layers allows scaling down the size of the semiconductor devices including these layer while maintaining their performance.
