Abstract

We have studied carrier transport and lateral electrical properties of nanocrystalline Si layers containing size controlled Si nanocrystals. Using results from direct current (dc) and alternating current (ac) conductivity measurements, the charging of Si nanocrystals and Coulomb blockade effect are discussed.
