Abstract

The hetero junction with intrinsic thin layer technique shows promising advancement in the development of optoelectronics devices. In this article, we have described the fabrication and characterization of n-i-p structure hetero junction with intrinsic silicon thin layer diode on glass substrate using hot wire chemical vapour deposition technique. We have grown the device structure starting from bottom i) n-type microcrystalline silicon layer on fluorinedopedtin oxide coated glass at 350C substrate temperature, ii) intrinsic polycrystalline silicon layer at 600C substrate temperature, iii) hydrogenated amorphous intrinsic silicon layer (a-Si:H) at 200C substrate temperature and iv) p type amorphous silicon layer at 200C substrate temperature on the top. FTO and aluminium wereused as back and top contactsrespectively. From dark current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurement,we observed that the device haddiode-like characteristics. However, further optimization of the device is needed for successful application in sensors, detectors and photovoltaic applications..
