In this case, the change in V<sub>th</sub> is due to modulation of the cross-sectional area of current flow.

Since it is easier to vary composition through solution processing, we have investigated suitability of various chemical compositions for TFT applications. We have found that a common composition In:Ga:Zn::1:1:1 used in sputtering leads to a crystalline film through solution processing route; the sputtered film is amorphous. Thus, we have systematically varied the composition to obtain amorphous phase with composition 3:1:5. Further, we report that both Zn/Ga and In/Ga ratio should be high in order to obtain amorphous films, but still some Ga must remain present to obtain acceptable resistivity. Thin film transistors fabricated using these compositions shows n-channel enhancement mode operation. The saturation mobility is found to be highest (0.39 cm2/V-s) for the amorphous composition with on-off ratio of the order of ~103.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114371902","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}

The proposed DL-p-TFET device does not use conventional ion implantation or diffusion for realizing source and drain regions; these regions are created by using metals of different work function, a charge plasma concept. It has been observed that by optimizing the source and gate electrode gap (Lgap, S) and oxide thickness under source electrode (Toxide, S) in the proposed DL-p-TFET device, better performance can be obtained in comparison to the conventional doped p-TFET (D-p-TFET). The 2D simulation study has shown a significant improvement in ON current (Ion), cutoff frequency (fT) and subthreshold slope (SS) in the proposed device in comparison to the conventional D-p-TFET. It is found observed that the ION, fT and SS in the proposed DL-p-TFET are increased by 156%, 2.5% and 133%, respectively, in comparison to the conventional D-p-TFET. Since the proposed device is dopingless, it is free from random dopant fluctuations issues and can be processed at low temperatures.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"68 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114381363","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}

These devices can show large chiro-optical effects, implying a strongly differential response to right and left circularly polarized light. In general, three-dimensional plasmonic structures show larger optical activity, but are typically not suitable for wafer-scale fabrication. As an alternate strategy, we have considered the optical response of stacked planar chiral geometries, which were found to exhibit very large chiro-optical response. Further, the plasmonic chirality of such stacked metamaterials can be tuned in the visible, by simply varying the thickness of the stack. This novel design of layered achiral metamaterials will be easier to fabricate than standard three dimensional geometries, and is suitable for various photonic device applications requiring polarization control.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"123 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116201049","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}

We perceived that the transport phenomena for copper and silver electrodes throughout entire negative bias range were almost comparable with the similar set of response to the applied potential. However, for positive bias range, the transport phenomenon for Gold and Copper electrodes was comparable. Moreover, Silver Electrode configuration had least Conduction Gap with symmetric I-V curves. This leads to the conclusion that Silver electrodes offer more stability and linearity in its characteristics providing us with another ideal option for semiinfinite electrodes in nano world apart from Gold electrodes.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"292 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133547295","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}
