Our laboratory has previously revealed the use of metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) varactors against malicious pulses, as well as completed the related verification and measurements of such a circuit. To improve the reliability of this protection module further, in this study, we deposited a gallium oxide (Ga2O3) thin film in between the Schottky contact electrode to manufacture a metal-oxide-semiconductor-oxide-metal (MOSOM) varactor. However, the thin-film quality and heterojunction interfaces will affect these fabricated varactors in various ways, such as the asymmetry threshold voltage to the variable capacitance characteristics. This study aims to address the issues associated with the inserted oxide thin film, as well as to determine how improvements could be obtained by using an oxygen furnace annealing process. As a result, the breakdown voltage of the MOSOM varactor was further promoted and a more robust anti-surge module was thus realized.

In the last few years, interest in the use of gallium oxide (Ga2O3) as a semiconductor for high power/high temperature devices and UV nano-sensors has grown. Ga2O3 has an enormous band gap of 4.8 eV, which makes it well suited for applications in harsh environments. In this work, we explored the effect of Ag thin film as a catalyst to grow gallium oxide. The growth of gallium oxide thin film and nanowires can be achieved by heating and oxidizing pure gallium at high temperatures (~1000 °C) in the presence of trace amounts of oxygen. We present the results of structural, morphological, and elemental characterization of the β-Ga2O3 thin film and nanowires. In addition, we explore and compare the sensing properties of the β-Ga2O3 thin film and nanowires for UV detection. The proposed process can be optimized to a high scale production Ga2O3 nanocrystalline thin film and nanowires. By using Ag thin film as a catalyst, we can control the growth parameters to obtain either nanocrystalline thin film or nanowires.

Solution processing (SP) is a cheap, simple and high-throughput method for the fabrication of ZnO thin film transistors (TFTs). Lack of enhancement mode operation, poor crystallinity, traps, and poor control of the carrier concentration are some of the disadvantages of this method. The high intrinsic electron concentration of SP-ZnO makes saturation of TFTs non-trivial. We report on Schottky barrier thin film transistors (SB-TFT). By biasing the source Schottky contact in reverse bias, a depletion region is formed around the source contact hence depleting the region from the free charge carriers which produces the saturation of the device. The effect of the Schottky contact is illustrated by comparing the operation of SB-TFTs with that of conventional TFTs.
