Schottky barrier diode based on composite of polyaniline with polystyrene has been fabricated and characterized using indium as Schottky contact and platinum as an ohmic contact. Current-voltage (I-V) plots were non-linear and capacitance-voltage (C-V) plots were almost linear in reverse bias indicating rectification behavior. Various junction parameters were calculated from the temperature dependent I-V and C-V data and discussed. These results indicate that the composite materials have better mechanical strength and diode quality compare to that of pure polymer. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. Ail rights reserved.
