  • Molecular precursor compounds for zinc-group 13 mixed oxide materials
    Patent number: 9670232
    Abstract: Molecular precursor compounds, processes and compositions for making Zn-Group 13 mixed oxide materials including IZO, GZO, AZO and BZO, by providing inks comprising a molecular precursor compound having the formula MAaZn(OROR)3a+2, and printing or depositing the inks on a substrate. The printed or deposited ink films can be treated to convert the molecular precursor compounds to a material.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: February 6, 2014
    Date of Patent: June 6, 2017
    Assignee: Transtron Solutions LLC
    Inventors: Kyle L. Fujdala, Christopher Melton
