Modeling of lateral charge transfer in Si nanocrystals in SiO2 thin film

In this work, lateral charge diffusion in Si nanocrystal (nc-Si) layer embedded in a SiO2 thin film has been simulated with Silvaco-TCAD tool by monitoring the influence of the charging of the nanocrystal in one metal-oxide-semiconductor structure on its neighboring devices. With the existence of th...
