    Nanolitography Based on Electrospun and Etched Nanofibers
    (Elsevier, 2021) Noori, Aileen; Döğer, Hilal; Demirhan, Yasemin; Özdemir, Mehtap; Özyüzer, Lütfi; Aygün, Gülnur; Sağlam, Özge
    In this study, we propose a new type of nanolithography procedure to fabricate orderly patterned metallic nanostructures using the electrohydrodynamic method and the reactive ion etching process. The electrohydrodynamic process parameters were tuned so as to create patterning with precision, and fibers in nanoscale on silver-coated substrates. We also studied reactive ion etching with different durations on the well-patterned samples. The experiments show that applying a voltage of 400 V resulted in straight patterned fibers with a diameter of 208.7 ? 30.3 nm. The statistical analysis on scanning electron microscope (SEM) images showed a significant difference in the diameter of the fibers fabricated at 400 V compared to those at 500 V and 600 V. We also confirm that the etching process has no affect on the fiber diameter. Moreover, electron dispersive X-Ray spectrometer (EDX) results suggest that an etching duration of 7 min is sufficient to remove the silver coating that is not covered with the fibers, and protect the silver nanostructures underneath the fibers. Utilizing a lowcost nanolithography procedure, we obtain the orderly patterned silver nanostructures for possible integration into miniaturized devices.

    The Controllable Deposition of Large Area Roll-To Sputtered Ito Thin Films for Photovoltaic Applications
    (Elsevier, 2020) Demirhan, Yasemin; Köseoğlu, Hasan; Türkoğlu, Fulya; Uyanık, Zemzem; Özdemir, Mehtap; Aygün, Gülnur; Özyüzer, Lütfi
    In the present study, using a large area roll-to-roll DC magnetron sputtering system deposition of ITO thin films on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates were achieved. In order to investigate the effect of growth conditions on the film properties all through the deposition process, optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis have been accomplished in a governable way. The consequences of Oxygen partial pressure and film thickness on electrical, and optical properties of the films were determined. It was shown that the intensity of optical emission peaks are subjected to the discharge power and as well as the O-2/Ar flow ratio. Large area, uniform ITO films with relatively high transparency and low electrical resistivity (R(2)(<)50 Omega/sqr) were succesfully deposited on PET substrates. The significance of both the figure of merit (FOM) and the optical band gap values on the performance of different TCO thin films were addressed. In this work, the obtained results suggest that the overall performance is sufficient to implement the ITO films in photovoltaic and OLED applications. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
