Uniform or Area-Selective ALD of In2O3:H?
– It’s all about nucleation

A little while ago I wrote a blog about my PhD project. In this blog, I explained that most of my PhD project revolved around an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process that I developed to make hydrogen-doped indium oxide (In2O3:H): This material combines extreme transparency with good electrical conductivity, making it highly interesting in for … Read more

ALD of high-quality hydrogen-doped indium oxide
– a mini-review

I recently successfully defended my PhD thesis, entitled “Atomic Layer Deposition of Metal Oxide Thin Films for Si Heterojunction Solar Cells”. As the title suggests, I have worked on ALD of various metal oxides for the application in Si heterojunction solar cells. It was however one material in particular, hydrogen-doped indium oxide In2O3:H, that dominated … Read more
