Metal–Insulator–Insulator–Metal (MIIM) Ag/SnO2/Al2O3/Ag Diodes Fabricated by Ultraprecise Dispensing and Atomic Layer Deposition

Advanced Electronic Materials, EarlyView.
This study introduces a new method for fabricating MIIM diodes using ultra‐precise dispensing printing techniques combined with ALD. Thus, it provides a practical alternative to traditional lithography. The fabricated diode, with a contact area of 5.4 µm × 4.0 µm exhibits a tunneling current in the microampere range, a zero‐bias responsivity of −1.31 A/
