Abstract :
Device scaling has been a subject of research for both optoelectronics and electronics. In order to investigate the electronic properties of scaled devices we studied lateral p-i-n structures using thin silicon on insulator (SOI) or poly-Si layers of varying dimension. With the help of these structures we try to explain the size dependencies on electronic transport properties. Further, we also propose a new device concept called charge plasma diode.
