چکیده
Copper phthalocyanine (CuPc)/Aluminum (Al) Schottky diode solar cells were studied. The thickness of the CuPc layer was varied from 15 nm to 140 nm. Short circuit current densities (Jsc) increased with thickness from 0.042 mA/cm at 15 nm to 0.124 mA/cm at 120 nm reaching saturation at that level. Open circuit voltages (Voc) increased from 220 mV at 15 nm to 907 mV at 140 nm. Analysis of the current-voltage characteristics indicated that tunneling and interface recombination current mechanisms are important components of the current transport at the CuPc/Al junction.

Todd Schumann, Sefaattin Tongay, Arthur F. Hebard Department of Physics, University of Florida, Gainesville FL 32611 This article demonstrates the formation of Schottky diodes on silicon (Si), gallium arsenide (GaAs), and 4H-silicon carbide (4H-SiC) using the semimetal graphite. The forward bias characteristics follow thermionic emission theory, and the extracted Schottky barrier heights closel...
متن کاملFace-on stacking and enhanced out-of-plane hole mobility in graphene-templated copper phthalocyanine.
Efficient out-of-plane charge transport is required in vertical device architectures, such as organic solar cells and organic light emitting diodes. Here, we show that graphene, transferred onto different technologically-relevant substrates, can be used to induce face-on molecular stacking and improve out-of-plane hole transport in copper phthalocyanine thin films.
