Deposition And Characterization Of Polyfluorene / Cerium Oxide Organic-Inorganic Thin Films

The investigation of a novel approach by applying an organic polyfluorenes (PFs) layer on inorganic high dielectric constant (k) cerium oxide (CeO2) film for potential use as passivation of silicon (Si)-based metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) devices was carried out. Initially, the effects of post-dep...
