    Fatima H. Mahdi, Akram N. Al-Shadeedi
    Semiconductors, 2024
    Abstract Resistive humidity sensors based on PVDF/PVA polymeric blend films doped with ZnO nanoparticles were investigated in this work. The polymeric blends were prepared by solution mixing PVDF and PVA with different (0, 1, 3, 5, and 8) weight ratios of ZnO NPs. The undoped and doped PVDF/PVA blend films were deposited on the interdigitated ITO/glass electrodes to fabricate the resistive humidity sensors. The techniques of X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transforms infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), and contact angle were utilized to characterize the crystal structure, functional groups, surface morphology, and hydrophilicity of the undoped and doped PVDF/PVA sensing films. The sensing properties of the resistive humidity sensor based on the undoped and doped PVDF/PVA polymeric blend were examined by investigating the resistance change with relative humidity level (RH%) ranging from 20 to 90% at room temperature. By increasing ZnO NPs wt %, the sensitivity, response, and recovery times of the humidity sensor based on PVDF/PVA blend films showed an improvement due to the increased porosity and hydrophilicity of the sensing films. The sensor’s sensitivity ratio is enhanced from 4076 to 8073 by increasing the weight ratio of ZnO NPs from 0 to 8 wt %. Also, the response and recovery times are affected by increasing ZnO NPs from 0 to 8 wt %, which decreased from 28 to 18 s and 42 to 30 s, respectively.
  • Stability of organic permeable base transistors
    Kashi N. Subedi, Akram Al-Shadeedi, Björn Lüssem
    Applied Physics Letters, 2019
    Organic Permeable Base Transistors (OPBTs) reach a very high transit frequency and large on-state currents. However, for a later commercial application of this technology, a high operational stability is essential as well. Here, the stability of OPBTs during continuous cycling and during base bias stress is discussed. It is observed that the threshold voltage of these transistors shifts toward more positive base voltages if stressed by applying a constant potential to the base electrode for prolonged times. With the help of a 2D device simulation, it is proposed that the observed instabilities are due to charges that are trapped on top of an oxide layer formed around the base electrode. These charges are thermally released after removing the stress, and the device reaches its initial performance after around 24–48 h.
  • Suppressing Base Currents in Organic Permeable-Base Transistors by Anodization of the Base Electrode
    Shiyi Liu, Raj Kishen Radha Krishnan, Akram Al-Shadeedi, Björn Lüssem
    ACS Applied Electronic Materials, 2019
    Organic permeable base transistors (OPBTs) have long been investigated as an alternative to conventional OFETs. Their vertical architecture allows for simple low-resolution fabrication techniques, leading to short channel lengths and high current densities. However, to achieve a higher amplification in these transistors, it is essential to keep the base current a few orders of magnitude lower than the collector current. Here, it is shown that electrochemically growing a thin oxide layer on top of the base electrode of OPBT in conjunction with a self-assembled monolayer (SAMs) is capable of suppressing the base current and obtaining a higher amplification value.

  • Cu (In, Ga) Se2 an absorber layer of photovoltaic devices
    Mohammed A. Hameed, Akrm N. AL-Shadeedi, Abeer N. Abdulhameed, Omar Abdulsada Ali
    Journal of Physics Conference Series, 2019
    CIGS nanoink has synthesized from molecular precursors of CuCl, InCl3, GaCl3 and Se metal heat up 240 °C for a half hour in N2-atmosphere to form CIGS nanoink, and then deposited onto substrates of soda-lime glass (SLG). This work focused on CIGS nanocrystals, indicates their synthesis and applications in photovoltaic devices (PVs) as an active light absorber layers. in this work, using spin-coating to deposit CIGS layers (75 mg/ml and 500 nm thickness), without selenization at high temperatures, were obtained up to 1.398 % power conversion efficiency (PCE) at AM 1.5 solar illumination. Structural formations of CIGS chalcopyrite structure were studied by using x ray diffraction XRD. The morphology and composition of CIGS were studied using scanning electron microscopy SEM.

  • Scaling of High-Performance Organic Permeable Base Transistors
    Akram Al‐Shadeedi, Shiyi Liu, Vikash Kaphle, Chang‐Min Keum, Björn Lüssem
    Advanced Electronic Materials, 2019
    Organic permeable‐base transistors (OPBTs) show potential for high‐speed, flexible electronics. Scaling laws of OPBTs are discussed and it is shown that OPBT performance can be increased by reducing their effective device area. Comparing the performance of optimized OPBTs with state‐of‐the‐art organic field‐effect transistors (OFETs), it is shown that OPBTs have a higher potential for an increased transit frequency. Not only do OPBTs reach higher transconductance values without the need for sophisticated structuring techniques, but they are also less sensitive to parasitic contact resistances. With the help of a 2D numerical model, the reduced contact resistances of OPBTs are explained by a homogeneous injection of current across the entire emitter electrode, compared to injection in a small area along the edge of the source of OFETs.
