After thermal annealing at 500 °C, these films showed a-SiGe even better electrical conductivity than the obtained as PECVD deposited films. The annealing process to which the films were subjected was planned to enhance their transport properties while avoiding crystallization. After characterization by means of FTIR and Raman techniques, the solid phase of the thin film remained amorphous after annealing. The room-temperature electrical conductivity increased about three orders of magnitude from 2.27E-02 up to 2.47 S/cm for the non annealed to the annealed films. Because of the electrical and structural properties measured on the a-SiGe material here obtained, it is one of the best conductivity reached for intrinsic a-SiGe reported up to now. Its high electrical conductivity makes it suitable for its potential application in emerging and environment-friendly technologies such as flexible electronics, wearable electronics, and energy harvesting.","PeriodicalId":112590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin America Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114624166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this context, this work focused on the development of organic thin film transistors for the analysis of water supplied by the Basic Sanitation Company of the State of São Paulo (SABESP). Electrical devices with fully patterned electrodes were processed over glass substrates. Seeking higher compatibility with flexible substrates, cross-linked poly(4-vinylphenol), a high dielectric constant material, was used. It was demonstrated that only the cross-linked polymer could withstand both electrode photolithography and semiconductor deposition. Subsequently, the performance of poly(2,5-bis(3-alkylthiophen-2-yl)thieno[3,2-b]thiophene) in gas sensors was investigated. Results obtained in triode regime showed high sensitivity to isoborneol. A current variation greater than 20% in response to 10 ppm of isoborneol represents an important step in the development of a low-cost electronic nose for real-time water quality monitoring.","PeriodicalId":112590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin America Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"30 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127438055","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Circuit simulators such as SPICE use compact models to represent individual devices in the simulation of a circuit with numerous transistors. For the very time consuming interaction of both environments in the sense of Design-Technology Co-Optimization (DTCO), compact models are used as one-way bridges: The parameters of a compact model are adapted to TCAD results and serve as input to a circuit simulation, followed by a feedback of circuit performance on the definition of the device structure. But can compact models serve as a bidirectional bridge between circuit and TCAD simulation? Is it possible and advantageous to integrate compact models in TCAD simulations to build a joined platform that enables a multiscale simulation from quantum physics to circuit simulation? In this paper, an example for the successful integration of a compact model into the numerical device simulation of an ultra-short channel double-gate MOSFET is discussed.","PeriodicalId":112590,"journal":{"name":"2021 IEEE Latin America Electron Devices Conference (LAEDC)","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123876522","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
