This paper describes the synthesis and characterization of new organic/inorganic hybrid materials formed from mixed oxide (Ti,Sn)O2 nanoparticles polyaniline (PANI). The preparation method is based on a sol−gel technique using titanium tetra-isopropoxide tin tetrachloride as precursors, two synthetic routes to hybrids formation were employed, addition aniline after or before sol formation. Different amounts used verify this effect characteristics materials. Samples characterized by thermal...

Abstract Inorganic semiconductor–metal–semiconductor transistors were developed more than 40 years ago. However, despite being potentially attractive for fast switching and sensor applications, they are difficult to produce usually show low base transport factors, thereby limiting their applicability. Recent developments in hybrid organic/inorganic transistors, however, demonstrate that high‐gain can be produced using simple technologies. Additionally, fabrication is compatible with...

Bipolar devices constructed using 60nm thick tris-(8-hydroxyquinoline) aluminum (Alq3) thin films sandwiched between a 200nm sulfonated polyaniline hole-injection electrode and Al∕Ca electron-injection show very high (up to 103%) magnetocurrent values. True-hole-only true-electron-only Alq3-based that make use of Si as charge carrier collecting electrode, electron injecting or Au hole are also proposed, prepared, characterized. In these true-single-carrier is not observed. This result...

In this work we present data from a novel p-type metal-base transistor with common-base gain α∼1, fabricated at ambient temperature and pressure by electrodepositing sequentially on Si collector, Co base Cu2O emitter. The high the dependence of potential between emitter (VEB) collector (VCB) when current (IE) is held constant both suggest that device functions as natural permeable for very thin metal bases.

We demonstrate the production of copper phthalocyanine (CuPc) based p-type hybrid permeable-base transistors, which operate at low voltages having high common-base current gains.

In sequence CuPc and Au thermally sublimated to produce emitter, constituting quite simple device procedure with additional advantage allowing higher integration due its vertical architecture.
