Fabrication and Characterization of Al/Methyl Orange/n-Si Heterojunction Diode
نویسنده
چکیده
Herein, the organic semiconductor methyl orange (MO), is investigated for the first time for its electronic applications. For this purpose, Al/MO/n-Si heterojunction is fabricated through economical cheap and simple “drop casting” technique. The currentvoltage (I-V) measurements of the device are made at room temperature under dark conditions. The I-V characteristics of Al/MO/n-Si junction exhibits asymmetrical and rectifying behavior that confirms the formation of diode. The diode parameters such as rectification ratio (RR), turn on voltage (Vturn on), reverse saturation current (I0), ideality factor (n), barrier height ( b φ ), series resistance (Rs) and shunt resistance (Rsh) are determined from I-V curves using Schottky equations. These values of these parameters are also extracted and verified by applying Cheung’s functions. The conduction mechanisms are explained from the forward bias I-V characteristics using the power law. Keywords—Electrical properties, Organic/inorganic heterojunction diode, Methyl Orange, Cheungs Functions

متن کاملA p-Ge C /n-Si Heterojunction Diode Grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy
We report on the fabrication and characterization of the first p-n diode made from a heterojunction of epitaxial p-type Ge0:998C0:002 on an n-type Si substrate. Epitaxial Ge0:998C0:002 was grown on a (100) Si substrate by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. The p-GeC/n-Si junction exhibits diode rectification. The I-V characteristics of the p-GeC/n-Si diode indicate a reasonable reverse satura...
متن کاملSynthesis, structural characterization and catalytic activity of TiO2/Al2O3 photo-composite
In recent years, the effects of heterogeneous catalysts for the oxidation of organic and inorganic pollutants in industrial wastewaters are spread. Traditionally, these reactions are usually carried out using suspensions of photo-catalysts such as TiO2. A chemical method including TiCl4, Al(NO3)3, ethanol amine, ethyl acetoacetate and aqueous ammonia were used for the fabrication of TiO2-Al2O3 ...
