The lack of low temperature processable, high-performance p-type oxide thin-film transistors (TFTs) limits their implementation in monolithically integrated back-end-of-line (BEOL) CMOS circuitries. In this work, we demonstrate a reactive magnetron-sputtered SnO TFT with unprecedented hole field-effect mobility (μ) of 38.7 cm/V·s, as well as an on/off current ratio () of 2.5 × 10 and lower subthreshold swing (SS) of 240.9 mV/dec when compared to reported works on p-type oxide-based TFTs. Material characterization correlated with the SnO TFTs' electrical behavior elucidated the performance to the structural and compositional phase modulation of the SnO thin films, modulated by O partial pressure during deposition and post-encapsulation annealing. By integrating the SnO TFT with an IGZO TFT in both planar and stacked complementary FET-like form, we demonstrated a true oxide-based CMOS inverter, achieving one of the highest voltage gains of 57 and the lowest static power consumption down to 34 pW for both on and off states.

Oxygen vacancies in Ruddlesden-Popper (RP) perovskites (PV) [AO][ABO] play a pivotal role in engineering functional properties and thus understanding the relationship between oxygen-vacancy distribution and physical properties can open up new strategies for fine manipulation of structure-driven functionalities. However, the structural origin of preferential distribution for oxygen vacancies in RP structures is not well understood, notably in the single-layer ( = 1) RP-structure. Herein, the = 1 RP phase SrNdZnO was rationally designed and structurally characterized by combining three-dimensional (3D) electron diffraction and neutron powder diffraction.

High-Performance InP Quantum-Dot Light-Emitting Diodes with a NiO Nanoparticle-Embedded Hybrid Emissive Layer.

ACS Appl Mater Interfaces

Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, Inter-university Semiconductor Research Center, and SOFT Foundry Institute, Seoul National University, 1, Gwanak-ro, Gwanak-gu, Seoul 08826, Republic of Korea.

Quantum-dot (QD) light-emitting diodes (QLEDs) are garnering significant attention owing to their superb optoelectrical properties, but the overinjection of electrons compared to holes into the emissive layer (EML) is still a critical obstacle to be resolved. Current approaches, such as inserting a charge-balancing interlayer and mixing p-type organic additives into the EML, face issues of process complexity and poor miscibility. In this work, we demonstrate efficient InP QLEDs by simply embedding NiO nanoparticles (NPs) into the EML which forms a homogeneous QD-metal oxide hybrid EML.

Mass-fraction-optimized heterojunction composites featuring precisely engineered interfaces and mesoporous structures are crucial for improving light absorption, minimizing electron-hole recombination, and boosting overall catalytic efficiency. Herein, highly efficient mesoporous-NiFe2O4@g-C3N4 heterojunctions were developed by embedding p-type NiFe2O4 nanoparticles (NPs) within n-type porous ultrathin g-C3N4 (p-uCN) nanosheets. The optimized NiFe2O4@g-C3N4, loaded with 20wt% magnetic counterparts, exhibits exceptional photocatalytic methylene blue degradation, achieving the highest performance in both photocatalytic and photo-Fenton processes with rate constants of 0.

Transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) are widely used in modern electronics because they have both high transmittance and good conductivity, which is beneficial for many applications such as light-emitting diodes. Tailoring electronic states and hence the conductive types by design is important for developing new materials with optimal properties for TCOs. SnO, with a wide band gap, low cost, no toxins, and high stability, is a promising host material for TCOs.

Native Defect-Dependent Ultrafast Carrier Dynamics in p-Type Dopable Wide-Bandgap NiO.

J Phys Chem Lett

December 2024

School of Electronic Science and Engineering, Nanjing University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210023, China.

NiO is a wide-bandgap p-type metal oxide that has extensive applications in optoelectronics and photocatalysts. Understanding the carrier dynamics in p-type NiO is pivotal for optimizing device performance, yet they remain largely unexplored. In this study, we employed femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy to delve into the dynamics of photogenerated carriers in NiO films containing distinct prominent native defects: undoped NiO with oxygen vacancies () and O-rich NiO (denoted as NiO) with nickel vacancies ().
