Here, we report a novel ultrasonic imaging device that can optically display an acoustic signal on the surface of a piezoelectric transducer. By fabricating an organic light-emitting diode (OLED) on top of a piezoelectric crystal, lead zirconate titanate (PZT), an acousto-optical piezoelectric OLED (p-OLED) transducer is realized, converting an acoustic wave profile directly to an optical image. Because of the integrated device architecture, the resulting p-OLED features a high acousto-optic conversion efficiency at the resonance frequency, providing a piezoelectric field to drive the OLED. By incorporating an electrode array in the p-OLED, we demonstrate a novel tomographic ultrasound imaging device that is operated without a need for conventional signal processing.}, number={32}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, author={Yu, Hyeonggeun and Kim, Jinwook and Kim, Howuk and Barange, Nilesh and Jiang, Xiaoning and So, Franky}, year={2020}, month={Aug}, pages={36409–36416} }

However, poor thermal stability of perovskites on ZnO and interfacial traps introduced during processing are obstacles to achieve a good device performance. Here, we demonstrate perovskite solar cells using aluminum doped zinc oxide (AZO) nanoparticles for the ETL having a better thermal stability compared with ZnO. However, the device shows a lower short circuit current density and a large photocurrent hysteresis, which are attributed to the poor interfacial properties between the ETL and the perovskite layer. To address this issue, a thin interfacial modification layer of phenyl-C61-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) was employed. The resulting device shows the efficiency is improved from 13 to 17% along with a significant reduction in hysteresis. Results from our thermal admittance spectroscopy show that the interface defect states are significantly reduced with the PCBM passivation layer.}, number={17}, journal={CHEMISTRY OF MATERIALS}, author={Dong, Qi and Ho, Carr Hoi Yi and Yu, Hyeonggeun and Salehi, Amin and So, Franky}, year={2019}, month={Sep}, pages={6833–6840} }

However, most metal/a-IGZO junctions are ohmic due to the Fermi-level pinning at the interface, restricting their device applications. Here, we report that indium-tin oxide/a-IGZO Schottky diodes can be formed by gradient oxygen doping in the a-IGZO layer that would otherwise form an ohmic contact. Making use of back-to-back a-IGZO Schottky junctions, a transparent IGZO permeable metal-base transistor is also demonstrated with a high common-base gain.}, number={21}, journal={APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS}, author={Ho, Szuheng and Yu, Hyeonggeun and So, Franky}, year={2017}, month={Nov} }

Single crystals of these materials have been grown from solution with electrical properties superior to those of polycrystalline films. In order to enable the development of more complex device architectures based on organolead-halide perovskite single crystals, we developed a process to form epitaxial layers of methylammonium lead iodide (MAPbI3) on methylammonium lead bromide (MAPbBr3) single crystals. The formation of the MAPbI3 layer is found to be dominated by the diffusion of halide ions, leading to a shift in the photoluminescence and absorption spectra. X-ray diffraction measurements confirm the single-crystal nature of the MAPbI3 layer, while carrier transport measurements show that the converted layer retains the high carrier mobility typical of single-crystal perovskite materials. Such heterostructures on perovskite single crystals open possibilities for new types of devices.}, number={48}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, author={Shewmon, Nathan T. and Yu, Hyeonggeun and Constantinou, Iordania and Klump, Erik and So, Franky}, year={2016}, month={Dec}, pages={33273–33279} }

However, a functional optoelectronic VOFET could not be realized because of the difficulty in fabricating transparent source and gate electrodes. Here, we report a VOFET with an on/off ratio up to 10(5) as well as output current saturation by fabricating a transparent gate capacitor consisting of a perforated indium tin oxide (ITO) source electrode, HfO2 gate dielectric, and ITO gate electrode. Effects of the pore size and the pore depth within the porous ITO electrodes on the on/off characteristic of a VOFET are systematically explained in this work. By combining a phosphorescent organic light-emitting diode with an optimized VOFET structure, a vertical organic light-emitting transistor with a luminance on/off ratio of 10(4) can be fabricated.}, number={16}, journal={ACS APPLIED MATERIALS & INTERFACES}, author={Yu, Hyeonggeun and Dong, Zhipeng and Guo, Jing and Kim, Doyoung and So, Franky}, year={2016}, month={Apr}, pages={10430–10435} }
