complexing properties with a large number of transition metal ions, including the rare-earth ions. However, the complexes formed in this case are tris complexes and are not very stables. On the other hand, the inclusion of one more quinoline group stabilize the compound. Here, Li[RE(q)4] complexes (RE 3+ = La 3+ , Lu 3+ and Y 3+ ) were synthesized in our laboratories and then used as electron transporting and emitting layer in OLEDs. The organic thin films were deposited in high vacuum environment by thermal evaporation onto quartz and silicon substrates, at a base pressure of 2,0x10 - 3 Pa and with a 0,1nm/s deposition rate. The optical characterization of the RE-complexes showed emission in the range 510-525 nm, the same observed in the Alq3 spectra, while the absorption was observed in different wavelengths: 382 nm for Y/La-complexes and 388 nm for Lu-complex. The OLEDs were fabricated with indium tin oxide layer (ITO) as anode, NPB as hole transporting layer (25nm), Li[RE(q)4] as both electron transporting and emitting layer (40nm), and aluminum as cathode (120nm). The electroluminescence (EL) spectra presented a broad band from 520 to 540nm and exhibited green color emission related to the 8hydroxyquinoline ligand without intramolecular energy transfer from quinoline to RE 3+ ions. Moreover, in the EL spectra was also observed an interesting dependency between the maximum energy peak position and the half-width of emission band with the atomic radius of the RE ion used. For the fabricated OLED, the best luminance result was achieved to Li[Y(q)4] complex, with a maximum luminance of 30 cd/m 2 taken at 11V and with a current of 2mA. The results obtained for our devices are comparable with similar devices based on Alq3, presenting similar optical and electrical properties. 10:20am C2-3/F4-3-8 Effect of the deposition process and substrate temperature on the microstructure defects and electrical conductivity of thin Mo films, H. Köstenbauer (harald.koestenbauer@plansee.com), Plansee SE, Austria, D. Rafaja, U. Mühle, G. Schreiber, TU Bergakademie Freiberg, Germany, M. Kathrein, J. Winkler, Plansee SE, Austria Thin molybdenum films are commonly used as back electrodes in Cu(In,Ga)Se2 thin film solar cells and as contact material for thin film transistors/liquid crystal displays. For these applications, high electrical conductivity of the films is essential. As it follows from the classical Drude theory of the electrical conductivity in metals, all microstructure defects are in principle acting as scattering centres for electrons. Consequently, the microstructure defects increase always the electrical resistance of the material, but their “scattering cross sections” for electrons are supposed to differ strongly. In our study, we quantified the effect of point defects, dislocations and grain boundaries on the electrical resistivity of molybdenum films having a constant thickness of 500 nm. The kind and density of the microstructure defects in the Mo films were modified by applying different physical vapour deposition methods (DC magnetron sputtering, pulsed DC magnetron sputtering and RF magnetron sputtering) and by depositing the thin films at different deposition temperatures (room temperature, 150°C, 250°C and 350°C). As expected, the electrical resistivity of the Mo films, which was measured using a 4point probe, decreased with increasing substrate temperature. Furthermore, the highest resistivity was observed in RF magnetron sputtered samples, where also the effect of the substrate temperature was most pronounced. The microstructure of the thin films was characterised by using a combination of glancing angle X-ray diffraction (GAXRD), X-ray reflectivity (XRR), XRD pole figure measurement, scanning electron microscopy with electron back scattered diffraction (SEM/EBSD) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). GAXRD revealed residual stresses, stress-free lattice parameters, crystallite size and microstrain in the molybdenum films. XRR together with SEM and TEM gave information about the morphology of the films; this information was complemented by texture measurements performed using XRD and EBSD. The stress-free lattice parameters were used as a measure of the density of point defects, the microstrain as a measure of the dislocation density and the crystallite and grain size as a measure of the distance between the grain boundaries. The kind of the grain boundaries was deduced from the mutual orientation of crystallites. It was concluded that the point defects have the highest impact on the electrical conductivity of physical vapour deposited molybdenum thin films, followed by dislocations, and grain and crystallite boundaries. 10:40am C2-3/F4-3-9 Study of the electrical performance of rf magnetron sputtered TiO2 source and CuO drain split gate transistor, S. Gopikishan, P. Laha, A.B. Panda, P.K. Barhai, Birla Institute of Technology, India, AK. Das, Bhabha Atomic Research Center, India, I. Banerjee, SK. Mahapatra (skmahapatra@bitmesra.ac.in), Birla Institute of Technology, India We have fabricated split-gate field effect transistor based on Si/Al2O3 substrate. TiO2 thin film (n-type) used as source, CuO thin film (p-type) as drain and platinum thin film as gate of the transistor. The separation between the two platinum gates was ~ 0.1 µm and confirmed by Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). The crystallinity of the Al2O3, TiO2 and CuO Tuesday Morning, April 24, <strong>2012</strong> 30 films was confirmed by the GIXRD. Resistance (RS), conductance (G), and I-V measurement of the split-gate field effect transistor were performed by Impedance analyzer and source meter respectively. The field effect on the transistor current was studied by applying different bias voltage between the splitting gate thin films of platinum. It was found that the conductance and current were varied in a quantized step of 2e 2 /h with varying gate voltage. The Shubnikov-de Haas effect in channel resistance (Rc) vs B at different reverse bias of the transistor was also studied. 11:00am C2-3/F4-3-10 Characteristics and photocatalytic reactivity of TiO2 beads synthesized using a microwave-assisted hydrothermal method, W. Wu (wanyu@mdu.edu.tw), Y. Tsou, S. Huang, MingDao University, Taiwan In this study, a two-step process involving sol-gel and microwave hydrothermal techniques are used to synthesis a novel TiO2 structure, so called as TiO2 beads. It exhibits the required characteristics for photocataysis such as large surface area and well anatase crystallinity. Various synthesis parameters were investigated to evaluate the proper processing window of TiO2 beads such as the complex amount in the sol-gel process, temperature and heating time in the microwave hydrothermal process. It was found that microwave hydrothermal techniques can much reduce the process time and the size of TiO2 nanocrystalline. The texture and morphology of obtained nanoporous TiO2 beads were examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The crystalline phase was analyzed using x-ray diffractometer (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. The surface chemical bonding state was examined using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The specific surface, pore diameter and pore volume of beaded TiO2 was examined using BET. UV-visible diffuse reflectance spectra were achieved using a UVvisible spectrophotometer. The photocatalytic reactivity was obtained by degradation the Methylene blue. 11:20am C2-3/F4-3-11 Effect of growth parameters and annealing on some properties of sputtered ZnO thin films, R. Chander (rcohri@yahoo.com), GPC Bhikhiwind, India ZnO thin films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering technique onto silicon (001) and fused quartz substrates. The X-ray diffraction studies revealed (002) plane oriented growth of ZnO nano-grains. Grain size and surface roughness analysis performed onto AFM scans showed that av. grain size of film ~75 nm and r.m.s. roughness of film ~ 7nm. The effect of oxygen partial pressure during deposition was studied. Optical studies revealed ~ 12% increase in transmittance in the visible range for thin films grown in oxygen partial pressure than films grown without oxygen during deposition. Films exhibited direct optical band gap ~3.2 to 3.37 eV for films grown at different oxygen partial pressure as obtained from transmittance data. The observed change in optical band gap is corroborated with compositional analysis that showed deficiency of oxygen in ZnO matrix, which decreases for films grown at higher oxygen partial pressure. Refractive index and extinction coefficient was calculated by fitting the spectroscopic ellipsometery data obtained for 0.5 oxygen partial pressure film. Post deposition annealing of thin films in ambient environment led to surface reconstruction and change in the morphology of grains along with their growth during annealing at higher temperature.

Partridge (jim.partridge@rmit.edu.au), E.H. Mayes, M.R. Field, D.G. McCulloch, RMIT University, Australia, H-S Kim, R. Heinhold, S. Elzwawi, G.C. Turner, R.J. Reeves, M.W. Allen, University of Canterbury, New Zealand Existing applications for zinc oxide thin films include transparent electronic devices, transparent conducting electrodes and ultraviolet photonics. Deposition methods such as molecular beam epitaxy and pulsed laser deposition are normally required to achieve films with sufficient quality for electronic device applications. Unfortunately, these methods typically incur high cost and provide limited scalability. The filtered cathodic vacuum arc (FCVA) deposition technique offering both low cost and high throughput is routinely employed to produce aluminium doped ZnO for degenerate
transparent conducting layers. However, the potential for this technique to produce large area, low-defect ZnO films for electronic devices has largely been overlooked. We report on the structural, optical and electrical characteristics of ZnO films deposited on a-plane sapphire substrates by FCVA. These films exhibit desirable properties including high transparency, moderate intrinsic carrier concentrations (10 17 – 10 18 cm -3 ), Hall mobility up to 10 cm 2 /Vs and low surface roughness (with RMS values typically
