Özet

In this work, to gain detailed information about the electrical characteristics, interface traps (Dit), and their lifetimes (τ) of the metal-polymer-semiconductor (MPS) type structures, admittance measurements performed in wide frequency and voltage ranges have been utilized. At the outset, the intercept, and slope of the 1/C2 vs V curve were used to unveil the density of acceptor-atoms (NA), depletion-layer width (WD), and barrier-height (ΦB). All these parameters show strong frequency dependence with the effect of the Dit, interlayer, interface, and dipole polarization, especially at low and moderate frequencies. Therefore, Dit and τ were determined from the admittance method. The measured C -G/ω vs V curves were adjusted for higher frequencies taking into account the series-resistance effect. Experimental results indicate the strong effect of the Rs value on the capacitance and conductance values only at the accumulation-regime for higher-frequencies whereas the Dit effect in both inversion and depletion regimes for lower-frequencies.
