Abstract: | β-Carotene–FSS organic semiconductor/n-type Si structure has been characterized by current–voltage and capacitance–voltage methods. A deviation in I–V characteristic of the diode is observed due to effect of series resistance and interfacial layer. Cheung's functions were used to calculate diode parameters. The ideality factor, series resistance and barrier height values of the diode are n = 1.77, Rs = 10.32 (10.39) kΩ and 0.78 eV. The obtained ideality factor suggests that Au/β-carotene–FSS/n-Si Schottky diode has a metal–SiO2 oxide layer plus organic layer–semiconductor (MIOS) configuration. The capacitance–voltage characterizations of Au/β-carotene–FSS/n-Si diode at different temperatures were performed. The capacitance of the diode changes with temperature. The barrier height and ideality factor obtained from C–V curves are 0.67 eV and 1.68. The interface density properties of the diode are analyzed and the shape of the density distribution of the interface states is in the range of Ec −0.49 to −0.62 eV. It is evaluated that the FSS organic layer controls electrical charge transport properties of Au/β-carotene/n-Si diode by excluding effects of the β-carotene and SiO2 residual oxides on the hybrid diode. |
