研究目的
Investigating the current transport and capacitance-voltage characteristics of Sb2Se3/n-Si heterojunction diode prepared by electron beam evaporation.
研究成果
A thin film of Sb2Se3 was successfully evaporated by electron beam deposition on n-type Si. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that the prepared film has an orthorhombic structure and the SEM micrographs showed a fine smooth homogeneous surface. The EDX investigations revealed a stoichiometric composition. With a temperature increase, the ideality factor of the prepared junction decrease, the barrier height increases, and the series resistance decreases. The C-2– V results implied that the junction is of abrupt nature.
研究不足
The study is limited by the technical constraints of the electron beam evaporation technique and the characterization methods used. Potential areas for optimization include the quality of the Sb2Se3 thin film and the interface between Sb2Se3 and n-Si.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The Sb2Se3 thin film was deposited onto n-type silicon single crystal substrates by electron beam evaporation technique. The structural properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), and the surface morphology and elemental composition were studied by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM) and energy dispersive X-Ray (EDAX), respectively. The electrical properties were studied by current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
n-type silicon wafers were used as substrates. The antimony selenide bulk ingot material was prepared by direct fusion of stoichiometric parentage of the constituent elements in a vacuum sealed silica tube.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Electron beam deposition technique, X-ray diffraction (XRD, Philips X' pert MPD, Panalytical, Netherlands), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM, Quanta FEG 250, and FEI, USA), energy dispersive X-Ray unit (EDAX), high impedance Keithley electrometers model 617, C-V meter (Model 4108).

Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
4. Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow: The Sb2Se3 thin film was evaporated onto n-type silicon wafers at vacuum pressure 10-5 Pa. The thickness of the deposited film was controlled through the evaporation process by quartz crystal thickness monitor. The electrical features were studied by I-V and C-V techniques at dark conditions and at different heating temperatures.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The ideality factor, barrier height, and series resistance values were extracted from the I-V curves. The capacitance-voltage characteristics were measured at 1MHz at room temperature.
