Abstract

A junction of emeraldine salt (ES [BF4−]) doped by [BMIM] [BF4] may be preferred over the other junctions due to its low ideality factor and maximum rectification ratio. Schottky barrier diode based on composite of polyaniline (ES [BF4−]) with polystyrene has been created and characterized using aluminium as Schottky contact and argent as an ohmic contact. The observed current–voltage characteristics can be satisfactorily fitted using the modified Schottky equation. Capacitance–voltage (C–V) in reverse bias and current–voltage (I–V) plots indicates a rectification. 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 compared to the pure semiconducting polymer.

Kurzfassung

Ein Übergang im Emeraldinesalz (ES [BF4−]), das mit der ionischen Flüssigkeit [BMIM] [BF4] dotiert ist, könnte gegenüber anderen Übergängen aufgrund seines geringen Idealitätsfaktors und seines maximalen Gleichrichtungsverhältnisses begünstigt sein. Eine Schottky-Diode basierend auf einem Verbund aus Polyanilin (ES [BF4−]) mit Polystyren wurde hergestellt und charakterisiert, wobei Aluminium als Schottky-Kontakt und Silber als Ohmscher Kontakt verwendet wurden. Die beobachteten Strom-Spannungs-Kennlinien konnten zufriedenstellend an die modifizierte Schottky-Gleichung angepasst werden. Der Kapazitäts-Spannungs(C-V)-Plot in Sperrrichtung und der Stron-Spannungs(I-V)-Plot zeigen eine Gleichrichtung. Verschiedene Übergangsparameter wurden aus den temperaturabhängigen I-V- und C-V-Daten berechnet und diskutiert. Die Ergebnisse zeigen an, dass die Verbund-Materialien im Vergleich zum reinen leitfähigem Polymer eine bessere mechanische Festigkeit und Diodenqualität haben.
