Abstract

To determine the impact of pure and (PVC:SnS) interlayers on the electrophysical features of Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), Au/n-Si, Au/PVC/n-Si, and Au/(PVC: SnS)/n-Si structures are created on the same n-Si wafer. The average crystalline size, surface-morphology, purity-characterization, and optical features of the prepared SnS-nanostructure are studied by different common techniques. Basic electrical-parameters of these structures are calculated from the I-V data. The energy-dependent distribution of surface-states (Nss) and the current-conduction-mechanisms (CCMs) in these diodes were extracted. The use of PVC and SnS-doped PVC interfacial polymer layers leads to improving the performance of SBDs by increasing the n, Rs, Nss, I0 and an increase in Rsh, Barrier Height (BH). The dielectric-constant (\({\epsilon }^{{\prime }}\))/loss (\({\epsilon }^{{\prime }{\prime }}\)), and ac electrical-conductivity \({\sigma }_{ac}\) of them are investigated in wide-range frequency (100 Hz-1 MHz) by using capacitance/conductance-frequency (C/G-f) measurements and the origin of observed negative capacitance/dielectric at low-frequencies were discussed in details.
