    Abstract: Provided are light emitting diodes (LEDs) and methods of fabricating such LEDs. An LED may include a transparent conductive oxide (TCO) layer having a varying refractive index. For example, the refractive index may be higher at the interface of the TCO layer with an epitaxial stack than on the side of the TCO layer. The refractive index variability allows reducing light intensity losses in the LED. The refractive index variability may be achieved by feeding a substrate through a deposition chamber having a variable concentration of at least one process gas, such as oxygen. Specifically, the concentration of the process gas may be higher at one slit opening than at another slit opening. As the substrate moves through the deposition chamber, the TCO layer is continuously deposited. Due to the concentration variability, the resulting TCO layer may have a variable composition throughout the thickness of the TCO layer.

    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 third target includes a compound of indium oxide. The films exhibit the c-axis aligned crystalline (CAAC) phase in an as-deposited state, when deposited at room temperature, without the need of a subsequent anneal treatment.

    Abstract: Methods for making conducting stacks includes forming a doped or alloyed silver layer sandwiched between two layers of transparent conductive oxide such as indium tin oxide (ITO). The doped silver or silver alloy layer can be thin, such as between 1.5 to 20 nm and thus can be transparent. The doped silver or silver alloy can provide improved ductility property, allowing the conductive stack to be bendable. The transparent conductive oxide layers can also be thin, allowing the conductive stack to have an improved ductility property.

    Abstract: Methods for HPC techniques are applied to the processing of site-isolated regions (SIR) on a substrate to form at least a portion of a TFT device used in display applications. The processing may be applied to at least one of gate dielectric deposition, gate dielectric patterning, metal-based semiconductor deposition, metal-based patterning, etch stop deposition, etch stop patterning, source/drain deposition, or source/drain patterning. The SIRs may be defined during the deposition process with uniform deposition within each SIR or the SIRs may be defined subsequent to the deposition of layers wherein the layers are deposited with a gradient in one or more properties across the substrate.
