Determination of capacitance-voltage characteristics of organic semiconductor devices by combined current-voltage and voltage decay measurements

We present in this paper a new method,based on measurements of conventional direct current-voltage(I-V) characteristics and transient voltage-time(V-t) characteristics during the discharge process,for determining capacitance-voltage(C-V) characteris-tics of organic semiconductor devices.Derivatives of I-V and V-t,dI/dV and dV/dt,are related with C by a simple formula C=-V(dI/dV)/(dV/dt)The validity of the method is confirmed by experimental data measured from a set of single-organic-layer devices with different layer thicknesses.
