Abstract
Thin films of cuprous oxide (Cu2O) were grown using solution-based spray pyrolysis in ambient air and incorporated into hole-transporting thin-film transistors. The phase of the oxide was confirmed by X-ray diffraction measurements while the optical band gap of the films was determined to be ∼2.57 eV from optical transmission measurements. Electrical characterization of Cu2O films was performed using bottom-gate, bottom-contact transistors based on SiO2 gate dielectric and gold source-drain electrodes. As-prepared devices show clear p-channel operation with field-effect hole mobilities in the range of 10-4-10-3 cm2 V-1 s-1 with some devices exhibiting values close to 1 × 10-2 cm2 V-1 s -1.
