    摘要: A solution process is provided for forming a textured transparent conductive oxide (TCO) film. The process provides a substrate, and forms a first layer on the substrate of metal oxide nanoparticles such as ZnO, In2O3, or SnO2. The metal oxide nanoparticles have a faceted structure with an average size greater than 100 nanometers (nm). Voids between the metal oxide nanoparticles have a size about equal to the size of the metal oxide nanoparticles. Then, a second layer is formed overlaying the first layer, filling the voids between the nanoparticles of the first layer, and completely covering the substrate. The result is a continuous TCO film having an average surface roughness that is created by the combination of first and second layers.

    摘要: An electrical pressure-sensitive reflective display includes an array of display pixels, each with a transparent top surface, first electrode, second electrode, an elastic polymer medium, and metallic nanoparticles distributed in the elastic polymer medium. When a first voltage potential is applied between the first and second electrodes of each display pixel, a first color is reflected from the incident spectrum of light, assuming no pressure is applied on the top surface of each display pixel. When the top surface of a first display pixel is deformed in response to an applied pressure, the elastic polymer medium in the first display pixel is compressed, decreasing the metallic nanoparticle-to-metallic nanoparticle mean distance in the first display pixel. In response to decreasing the metallic nanoparticle-to-metallic nanoparticle mean distance, the color reflected from the incident spectrum of light by the second display pixel is changed from the first color to second color.

    摘要: A recessed-gate thin-film transistor (RG-TFT) with a self-aligned lightly doped drain (LDD) is provided, along with a corresponding fabrication method. The method deposits an insulator overlying a substrate and etches a trench in the insulator. The trench has a bottom and sidewalls. An active silicon (Si) layer is formed overlying the insulator and trench, with a gate oxide layer over the active Si layer. A recessed gate electrode is then formed in the trench. The TFT is doped and LDD regions are formed in the active Si layer overlying the trench sidewalls. The LDD regions have a length that extends from a top of the trench sidewall, to the trench bottom, with a doping density that decreases in response to the LDD length. Alternately stated, the LDD length is directly related to the depth of the trench.
