Capacitive coupling model and extraction of the molecular interface states in porphyrin-silicon nanowire hybrid field-effect transistor

We modeled and extracted the distribution of interface trap density by grafted molecules on the surface of a silicon nanowire field-effect transistor (SNWFET). The subthreshold current model was employed, and the capacitive coupling model of ideality factor was simplified, using a fully depleted SNWFET. We applied the analytical model to p-channel SNWFET with porphyrin, and extracted the distribution of the molecular interface states. There were 748 and 474 traps (average value) in length (L) = 300 nm and L = 500 nm devices, respectively. The trap energy was in the range of 0.27-0.35 eV.
