Double exponential density of states is used to model deep and tail trap states for carrier electrostatics. We employ the Lambert-W function to obtain the analytical surface potential expression. The validity of the obtained expressions is ascertained through a comparison between the numerical and explicit expressions. Furthermore, we also build on a model that was based on Lagrange Reversion theorem and test its validity for different biasing conditions. The proposed model, by virtue of its explicit analytical nature, while preserving the underlying physics, is suitable for the development of surface-potential-based compact models for OTFTs, which can be used for circuit design.","PeriodicalId":281480,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Semiconductor Conference (CAS)","volume":"141 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133391409","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 CBD allows conformal coverage of the glass substrate with surface roughness of 21.8 nm as estimated from AFM. As deposited Sb2S3 films show an amorphous-like structure as was revealed by both green laser (λex=514 nm) Raman and FT Raman (λex=1064 nm) spectroscopy. Optical transmittance indicates that the absorption edge in Sb2S3 films is 550 nm and therefore light below this wavelength will be strongly absorbed. Above certain threshold power, 2mW, of green laser (λex=514 nm) we observe that we can trigger an amorphous to crystalline phase transition in Sb2S3 films. Following this transition, we have also observed the appearance of α-Sb2O3 and the metallic Sb in the Sb2S3 films. The changes in optical properties have been investigated by spectroscopic ellipsometry.","PeriodicalId":281480,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Semiconductor Conference (CAS)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126963807","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}

Here, a photoluminescence study of SiNW arrays fabricated with a simple two-step silver (Ag) catalyzed etching of silicon wafers is presented. The morphology and photoluminescence properties were investigated for SiNWs of different lengths obtained by varying Ag concentration (as silver nitrate, AgNO3) and etching time. The samples consist of vertically aligned SiNWs with length in the range ~10-40 µm. Our foremost result is that the photoluminescence intensity from the SiNW arrays is an order of magnitude higher than that from bulk Si. This is accompanied by a red-shift in the peak position of approximately 0.09 eV, which may be attributed either to the variation in size of the Ag-nanoparticles created during the etching process or different lengths of the SiNWs. The results indicate that SiNWs obtained by simple and cost-effective metal catalyzed etching, are potentially promising for optoelectronic applications.","PeriodicalId":281480,"journal":{"name":"2021 International Semiconductor Conference (CAS)","volume":"11 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115421597","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}
