Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to thin films comprising non-stoichiometric monoxides of: copper (OCu2)x with embedded cubic metal copper (Cucy) [(OCu2)x+(Cu1-2)y, wherein 0.05≦x<1 and 0.01≦y≦0.9]; of tin (OSn)αx with embedded metal tin (Snβx) [(OSn)z+(Sn1-2)w wherein 0.05≦z<1 and 0.01≦w≦0.9]; Cucx—Snβx alloys with embedded metal Sn and Cu [(O—Cu—Sn)a+(Cuα—Snβ)b with 0<α<2 and 0<β<2, wherein 0.05≦a<1 and 0.01≦b≦0.9]; and of nickel (ONi)x with embedded Ni and Sn species [(O—Ni)a+(Niα—Snβ)b with 0<α<2 and 0<β<2, wherein 0.05≦a<1 and 0.01≦b≦0.9]; or combinations thereof, with amorphous, or nanocrystalline, or polycrystalline structure, either doped or not, with impurities such as zirconium, nitrogen or fluorine, for the fabrication of CMOS or TFT devices, with active matrices for LCD or OLED, fabrication of logic circuits, among others, using rigid or flexible substrates, wherein a protection layer, such as SU8 or the like, or silicon oxide or silicon nitride films are used for encapsulation.
