8. Transparent Passive devices
 Transparent Thin Film Resistors
 Transparent Thin Film Capacitors
 Transparent Thin Film Inductors

9.  There are two technologies which preceded
and underlie transparent electronics:
1. Transparent Conducting Oxides (TCOs)
2. Thin Film Transistors (TFTs)

10. Transparent Conducting Oxides (TCOs)
 TCOs constitute an unusual class of materials
possessing two physical properties (generally
considered mutually exclusive):
1. High optical transparency. ( Eg>3.1eV)
2. High electrical conductivity.

Constitutes the heart of transparent
electronics
Channel is formed from highly insulating, wide
band gap transparent semiconductor(ZnO).
Source, drain and gate contacts are made
from highly conductive TCO (ITO).
Two possible configurations are:
a) Bottom gate
b)Top gate
