Investigation of the Conductive Properties of ZnO Thin Films Using Liquid Probes and Creation of a Setup Using Liquid Probes EGaIn for Studing the Conductive Properties of Thin Films

Abstract

The use of liquid probes based on indium–gallium eutectic (EGaIn) with the possibility of positioning is an important problem for the study of thin films. This work is centered on the creation of a setup for measuring the current–voltage characteristics with the use of a liquid eutectic electrode. A technique for obtaining a cone-shaped liquid EGaIn electrode, a 3D assembly model and an algorithm for the operation of a probe setup for obtaining the current–voltage characteristics using liquid contacts are presented.
