Popis: | The electronic properties of the junction formed between multi-nanolayer amorphous selenium and silicon are studied. The current–voltage (I–V) relationship of this type of junction was characterised and the result showed pn junction rectification. Capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements were also used to obtain the value of the diffusion potential of the junction. From these data, the ideality factor and built-in potential were evaluated. The results show potential in the application of amorphous selenium and silicon as materials in tandem photovoltaic cells and in wide spectral range photodetectors. |
