A self-consistent iterative scheme for one-dimensional steady state transistor calculations

Abstract: A self-consistent iterative scheme for the numerical calculation of dc potentials and currents in a one-dimensional transistor model is presented. Boundary conditions are applied only at points representing contacts. Input data are: doping profile, parameters governing excess carrier recombination, parameters describing the dependence of mobility on doping and on electric field, applied emitter and collector voltages, and a trial solution for the electrostatic potential. The major limitation of the present approach results from use of Boltzmann rather than Fermi statistics. Convergence of the iteration scheme is good for low and moderate injection levels.

Transistor structures and methods for making the same

Abstract: Enhancement mode, field effect transistors wherein at least a portion of the transistor structure may be substantially transparent. One variant of the transistor includes a channel layer comprising a substantially insulating, substantially transparent, material selected from ZnO, Sn02, or In203. A gate insulator layer comprising a substantially transparent material is located adjacent to the channel layer so as to define a channel layer/gate insulator layer interface. A second variant of the transistor includes a channel layer comprising a substantially transparent material selected from substantially insulating ZnO, Sn02or In2O3, the substantially insulating ZnO, Sn02, or In203 being produced by annealing. Devices that include the transistors and methods for making the transistors are also disclosed.

Macromolecular electronic device: Field-effect transistor with a polythiophene thin film

Abstract: The first solid‐state field‐effect transistor has been fabricated utilizing a film of an organic macromolecule, polythiophene, as a semiconductor. The device characteristics have been optimized by controlling the doping levels of the polymer. The device is a normally off type and the source (drain) current can be modulated by a factor of 102–103 by varying the gate voltage. The carrier mobility and the transconductance have also been determined to be ∼10−5 cm2/V s and 3 nS, respectively, by means of electrical measurements.

The mid layer 32 It is provided to prevent mobile ions (Zn ions) from entering the gate insulating film 32 from the semiconductor active layer (ZnO film) 4 and is made of silicon nitride.

Transparent ZnO thin-film transistor fabricated by rf magnetron sputtering

Abstract: We fabricated ZnO thin-film transistors by rf magnetron sputtering on Si substrates held near room temperature. The best devices had field-effect mobility of more than 2 cm2/V s and an on/off ratio>106. These ZnO films had resistivity ∼105 ohm cm, with high optical transparency (>80% for wavelength >400 nm), and compressive stress <0.5 GPa. The combination of transparency in the visible, excellent transistor characteristics, and low-temperature processing makes ZnO thin-film transistors attractive for flexible electronics on temperature sensitive substrates.
