In the last few years, semiconductor nanowires (NWs) have attracted intensive attention due to both the intriguing fundamental properties and their potential applications in optoelectronic devices. GaAs NWs grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) often exhibit tapered and kinked morphologies, depending on growth temperature. However, straight NWs of uniform diameter are preferred for device applications. We have developed a two-temperature growth procedure using MOCVD to simultaneously minimize adatom diffusion, tapering and kinking. GaAs NWs grown by this procedure have shown no planar defects and smooth sidewalls. This procedure should enable the development of ternary NWs with uniform composition and shape. Compared with a large amount of studies on GaAs, InP and GaN based III-V NWs, the antimonide III-V NWs have received little attention, despite their great potential for near- and mid-infrared device applications. Recently, GaSb subwavelength-wire lasers emitting near 1.55 mum have been demonstrated which opened the possibility to use NWs for telecommunications. In this talk, we report a successful growth of GaSb/GaAs heterostructure NWs on GaAs (111) B substrate by MOCVD. No misfit dislocations can be observed in the GaSb NW part from HRTEM, which suggests a complete strain relaxation of the GaSb NW on the GaAs NW.","PeriodicalId":399603,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Workshop on Physics of Semiconductor Devices","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123378915","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}

Detail analysis of the dark I-V curve shows two distinct regions below and above certain voltage for the second cell unlike to first cell, which has only one region. I- V curve for the cells indicates trap charge limited (TCL) conduction through exponentially distributed traps. Characteristic trap energy (Et) has been calculated for both the cells. Use of dissimilar electrodes increases efficiency up to one order in magnitude than the other.

Printed electronics based on polymer transistors will enable the availability of electronics on nearly every product. This will create a new electronics revolution, not by replacing standard electronics based on silicon, but it will enable the realization of electronic intelligence to products, where there is no electronics today. This includes low cost radio frequency identification (RFID) applications, e.g. as a substitute of the optical barcode, as well as smart objects and electronics for flexible displays. This is possible due to the new polymer electronics technology, based on organic conducting and semi conducting materials. By using this technology, PolylC combines soluble electronic polymer materials with high volume printing processes to achieve low cost, high volume printed electronics.

The model seamlessly links the length scales from atomistic to macro. The model accounts for the discrete lattice effects, elastic anisotropy, nonlinear effects, and the presence of point defects as well as surfaces and interfaces in the solid. An effective force, called the Kanzaki force, is defined, which is a characteristic of the defect configuration. This force can be calculated and stored for later use, which makes the method numerically convenient for subsequent calculations. The Kanzaki force is used to calculate the dipole tensor that is a measure of the strength of the defects and can be directly used to calculate the strains from the familiar continuum Green's function. Numerical results are presented for the lattice distortion and the dipole tensors for various point defects (vacancy and substitutional germanium and carbon impurities) in strained silicon. Calculated values of elastic constants are reported for strained silicon.","PeriodicalId":399603,"journal":{"name":"2007 International Workshop on Physics of Semiconductor Devices","volume":"43 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2007-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125072726","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}
