摘要
The current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the Al/Alq(3)/p-Si Schottky diode shows rectified behavior with a potential barrier formed at the contact interface. The barrier height and the ideality factor values are 0.78 eV and 1.53, respectively. The barrier height of the Al/Alq(3)/p-Si diode is larger than that (similar to 0.58 eV) of the conventional Al/p-Si diode. It reveals that the organic film, Alq(3), controls the carrier transport of the diode at the contact interface. A linear relationship of 1/C-2 vs. V plot under the reverse bias is shown and the effective barrier height is 0.69 eV by capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement. The electrical characteristics of the diode are also discussed by using Norde's function and Cheung's method. (C) 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
