Abstract

In this study, the symmetrical copper-phthalocyanine (CuPc) was coated on p-Si wafer by spin-coating method. The photoresponse and electrical properties of the Al/symmetrical CuPc/p-Si structures/diodes were investigated at room temperature using by current–voltage/time (I–V/t) and capacitance/conductance-voltage/frequency (C/G-V/f) measurements under dark and various solar irradiances (between 10 and 100 mW/cm2). The main electronic parameters of the diode, which included ideality factor (n), barrier height (Φb), rectification ratio (RR = IF/IR), series resistance (Rs), and interface states density (Nss) were computed. The experimental results reveal that the photocurrent level of the diodes is controlled by various solar irradiances. The m exponent of the double-logarithmic Iph–P plot was found to be 1.12, confirming linear photoconduction behavior. The Al/symmetrical CuPc/p-Si structure can be used as a photo device/sensor in electro-optic and photonics.
