摘要
A simple and cost effective method to fabricate nearly ideal Schottky diode out of p-CdTe semiconductor is discussed. The efficient re-use of ionic liquid for the deposition of nano-microstructures of CdTe is also disclosed. The I-V characteristic of the diode configured as Cu:FTO: p-CdTe: Cu showed the rectifying nature with a small forward voltage (0.8 V) and a rectification ratio of 6 x 10(3) at 4.8 V. Theoretical model suggests the diffusion controlled carrier transport process with an ideality factor of 1.1 up to a small forward voltage range whereas the thermionic transport with generation recombination dominates at higher voltages. The interface properties of p-CdTe and FTO were studied by impedance spectroscopy under varied bias conditions to electrically represent the diode. (C) 2014 AIP Publishing LLC.
