First Objectives

This week we created some steps for our research. We believe this can make our task easier and more productive.

On 06/02/2013 we had a meeting with Dr. M. Raja and determined the basic knowledge background we need to develop in order to have a better understanding on the specific subject 'leakage currents'.

We have been provided with a brief explanation on the transistor architecture and their types(for the record: our study is based on bottom gate/botton contact transistors because of their simplicity of processing)

Referance to the Organic semiconductor GATE and CONTACTS are bottom, hence the name 'Botoom Gate/Botoom Contact'

Because of the time limitation we will do the strictly necessary part, which is study of leakage currents in a capacitor model with a organic insulator.

There are two Basic Conduction Processes in Insulators that are of interest to us at this stage. Tunneling and Frankel Poole emission. We have to make sure to get a solid knowledge on these two by the next meeting.

Our main book of referance, so far is "PHYSICS OF SEMICONDUCTOR DEVICES" (S.M SZE KWONK K. NG. 2007)

next meeting 15/02/2013
