Spray-Deposited Metal Oxide Films with Various Properties for Micro- and Optoelectronic Applications: Growth and Characterization

Abstract

ABSTRACTThis work reports the structure and electro-optical characteristics of different metal oxide films obtained by spray pyrolysis on heated glass substrates, aiming their application in optoelectronic devices. The results show that this technique leads to thin films with properties ranging from dielectric to degenerate semiconductors, offering the following advantages: simplicity, low cost, high productivity and the possibility of covering large areas, highly important for large area device applications.
