2 Experimental Procedure ofIndium Antimonide

One hundred and fifty millilitres of polyethylene glycolshould be taken in a beaker Dissolve stoichiometric amountof indium trichloride (InCl

(SbCl3) in polyethylene glycol at room temperature Zinc

powder was gradually added to the solution Leave thesolution to be stirred for about 2-3 hoursThe process shouldbe continued till InSb was precipitated and turned it into greycolour Keep the solution to be stirred well for half an hourand then it must be aged in the mother liquor for a day ata temperature of 25∘C After completion of this period theprecipitate was centrifuged and washed several times withdistilled water The precipitate was dried in hot oven at 120∘Cfor an hour and kept in water bath for 2 hours The resultantparticle is grinded well to obtain fine indium antimonidenanoparticle

4 Results and Discussion

41 Characterization of Powder The samples of Insb weresynthesized to investigate the crystalline phase Figure 2shows the XRD result The samples were scanned in 2120579 rangefrom 0∘ to 180∘ The size of InSb was estimated by the peaksof XRD image With the help of peaks the size of the crystalwas calculated

The standard Scherrer equation is used to find the particlesize The equation is given as

119879 = (

12057312

cos 120579) (4)

The wavelength is lamda = 0154060 nm 120579 is the peakposition and 120573 is the full peak width at half of the maximumintensity Using this the particle size is found to be in therange of 47 nm to 99 nm

42 Transistor Characteristics The 119868-119881 characteristics of thedevice is simulated by keeping gate voltage as constant for119881ds = 0 to 10V and 0ndash20V as shown in Figures 3 and 4This isperformed to study the switching characteristics of transistorWhen 119881

119892= 19V knee voltage is 58 V Thus 119868off state will be

switched into 119868on state and vice versa This replicates that thedevice works as normal transistor

Figures 5 and 6 show the saturation current and leakagecurrent as a function of gate voltage As gate voltage increasessaturation current increases although leakage current alsoincreases This is mainly due to the threshold voltage

For low drain source voltage values that is 0-1 V in thechannel region the gate bias induces an accumulation ofelectrons This causes a reduced channel resistance Hencethe channel width is decreased which in turn increases theelectric field across the channel junction

From Figure 7 it is observed that for low values of gatevoltage minimum noise figure (NFmin) is higher for highervalue of noise temperature constant (120575) This occurs due tohigher value of drain noise current and gate noise currentfor higher values of 120575 which in turn lead to higher values of

Figure 2 XRD pattern of InSb sample

4 Results and Discussion

41 Characterization of Powder The samples of Insb weresynthesized to investigate the crystalline phase Figure 2shows the XRD result The samples were scanned in 2120579 rangefrom 0∘ to 180∘ The size of InSb was estimated by the peaksof XRD image With the help of peaks the size of the crystalwas calculated

The standard Scherrer equation is used to find the particlesize The equation is given as

119879 = (

094120582

12057312

cos 120579) (4)

The wavelength is lamda = 0154060 nm 120579 is the peakposition and 120573 is the full peak width at half of the maximumintensity Using this the particle size is found to be in therange of 47 nm to 99 nm

42 Transistor Characteristics The 119868-119881 characteristics of thedevice is simulated by keeping gate voltage as constant for119881ds = 0 to 10V and 0ndash20V as shown in Figures 3 and 4This isperformed to study the switching characteristics of transistorWhen 119881

119892= 19V knee voltage is 58 V Thus 119868off state will be

switched into 119868on state and vice versa This replicates that thedevice works as normal transistor

Figures 5 and 6 show the saturation current and leakagecurrent as a function of gate voltage As gate voltage increasessaturation current increases although leakage current alsoincreases This is mainly due to the threshold voltage

For low drain source voltage values that is 0-1 V in thechannel region the gate bias induces an accumulation ofelectrons This causes a reduced channel resistance Hencethe channel width is decreased which in turn increases theelectric field across the channel junction

From Figure 7 it is observed that for low values of gatevoltage minimum noise figure (NFmin) is higher for highervalue of noise temperature constant (120575) This occurs due tohigher value of drain noise current and gate noise currentfor higher values of 120575 which in turn lead to higher values of
