Prior to the growth, Ag films were annealed at 100 and 250 °C. Annealing at 100 °C lead to the formation of smaller size of Ag nanoparticles with higher particle number density facilitating the vertical growth of higher density of ZnO NRs with high aspect ratio. The observation of predominant (002) plane from X-ray diffraction confirmed the preferential growth of ZnO nanorods on Ag films. The shape, orientation, diameter and number particles density of ZnO NRs are investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The photoluminescence (PL) spectra reveals the enhancement of NBE emission of ZnO NRs due to the transfer of electrons from Ag to ZnO and the resonance coupling of surface plasmon energy with ZnO emission. The evolution of multiple, low intense side bands in visible rsgion are due to shallow trap levels. Moreover, the absence of broad defect level emission peak indicating the high optical quality of ZnO NRs which could be applicable for UV LEDs.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"7 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":"127689175","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 biosensors offer the advantage of fast detection and compatibility with existing CMOS processes that enable rapid commercialization, and achieve very low detection limits. A biosensor's sensitivity is one of the main factors determining its performance. The application of emerging steep sub-threshold devices as biosensors is being actively explored due to their ability to provide very high sensitivities. In this paper, we propose the application of a Drain-side Gate-underlap Impact-ionization MOS (DGI-MOS) transistor as a sensor for label-free detection of charged biomolecules. The DGI-MOS biosensor is implemented by introducing an underlap in the gate electrode over the channel region at the drain side. The underlap serves as the location for the immobilization of biomolecules. With TCAD simulations, we demonstrate the proposed DGI-MOS biosensor to have a high sensitivity to the presence of charged biomolecules. In addition, the threshold voltage (VT) shift observed due to the presence of biomolecules is observed to be significantly higher than the other reported steep sub-threshold device-based biosensors. We demonstrate that the DGI-MOS biosensor allows the underlap region length to be comparable with the gate electrode length, simplifying the manufacturing steps involved in creating the underlap region.","PeriodicalId":186054,"journal":{"name":"2014 IEEE 2nd International Conference on Emerging Electronics (ICEE)","volume":"22 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":"125297953","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}
