Abstract
In order to good interpret the conduction mechanism in the Al/P3HT/p-Si (MPS) structure, both the capacitance-voltage (C-V),
and conductance-voltage (G/-V) characteristics of the structure are carried out in the wide temperature (120-300 K) and voltage
( ±5 V by 50 mV steps), respectively. The C-V plot shows a peak behavior in the accumulation region for each temperature due
to the presence of R
s
and interfacial layer. When the value of C starts to decrease in the accumulation region, G/ starts to
increase due to inductive behavior of the sample. The obtained barrier height from the reverse bias C
-2
vs V plot decreases with
increasing temperature as linearly and has -3.68x10
-4
eV/K negative temperature coefficient which is very closed to temperature
coefficient of Si band-gap (-4.73x10
-4
eV/K). The value of activation energy (E
a
) was obtained from the slope of Arrhenius plot
for various bias voltages and it changed from 5.75 eV (for 2 V) and 4.1 eV (for 5 V), respectively. In addition both the
temperature dependent profile of N
ss
and R
s
were obtained by using the Hill-Coleman and Nicollian-Brews methods, respectively,
and they decrease with increasing temperature due to reordering and restructure of the surface charges under temperature and
electric field. In order to see the effect of R
s
on the C-V and plot G/-V plots, they were corrected. All experimental results were
confirmed that the R
s
, interfacial polymer layer, N
ss
and temperature are more effective on the conduction mechanism especially
at low temperature.
