Abstract
In this paper we report the electrical characteristics of the Schottky diodes formed by surface polymerization of the Poly(ethylene glycol dimethanylate-n-vinyl imidazole)/Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes on n-Si The Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes were synthesized by CVD method. The main electrical properties of the Poly(ethylene glycol dimethanylate-n-vinyl imidazole)/Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes/n-Si have been investigated through the barrier heights, the ideality factors and the impurity density distribution, by using current-voltage and reverse bias capacitance voltage characteristics. Electrical measurements were carried out at room temperature. Poly(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate-n-vinyl imidazole)/Single Walled Carbon Nanotubes/n-Si Schottky diode current-voltage characteristics display low reverse-bias leakage currents and average barrier heights of 0.61 +/- 0.02 eV and 0.72 +/- 0.02 eV obtained from both current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements at room temperature, respectively.
