Özet

© 2016, National Institute of Optoelectronics. All rights reserved.We fabricated the Au/Meh-PPV:PCBM/n-type GaAs Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs). Then we investigated Current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of the diode at room temperature. MEH-PPV:PCBM (in a mass ratio 1:4) used as interfacial layer between metal and semiconductor layers. Here, MEH-PPV is poly [2-methoxy-5-(ethylhexyloxy)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] and PCBM is [6,6]-phenyl-61C-butric acid methyl ester). SBD parameters such as ideality factor, barrier height and series resistance were obtained from I-V and C-V measurements. Also, Cheung functions and Norde Method were used to evaluate the I-V characteristics and to determine the characteristic parameters of the Schottky diode. The diode parameters such as ideality factor, barrier heights and series resistance were found as 4.39-4.54 and 0.57-0.63 eV and 51-53 Ω respectively. Also the interface states energy distribution of the diode was determined and found as 1.09 x 1012 eV-1cm-2 at (Ec-0.352) eV to 2.94 x 1011 eV-1cm-2 at (Ec-0.436) eV.
