SYNTHESIS AND INVESTIGATION OF STRUCTURAL, SURFACE MORPHOLOGICAL AND OPTICAL PROPERTIES OF InSe/PMItz HYBRID HETEROJUNCTION

Abstract

On a series of annealed and unannealed InSe thin films which were formerly produced by electrochemical deposition method, organic PMItz semiconductor compound was growth by physical vapour deposition (PVD) method. Structural analyses of the films carried out by X-ray diffractometry (XRD) method revealed that glass/ITO/InSe film formed in hexagonal InSe phase while glass/ITO/InSe(annealed) film formed in monoclinic In6Se7 and orthorombic In4Se3 phases. Surface analyses of the layers forming heterojunction were conducted by atomic force microscoby (AFM) and it is observed that the layers are homogenous and have different roughness values. Optical analyses of the films demonstrated that annealing of the film result with increased absorption coefficient and reduced energy band gap. Moreover, other optical parameters of the films i.e. refractive indice(n), extinction coefficient (k), real dielectric constant(Er), imaginary dielectric constant(Ei) and optical conductivity were determined and compared within 300-1000 nm range.

Optical characterization of ZnCuO and CdCuO composite thin films prepared using equal ratio of Zn, Cd and Cu.

“…Refractive index values of the both thin films are found to be smaller than electrochemically deposited CuO thin film, on the other hand, extinction coefficient value of the electrochemically deposited CuO thin film is higher than the value of CdCuO thin film and smaller than the ZnCuO thin film [27]. Imaginary and real dielectric constants, another important optical parameter, which have relationship with the extinction coefficient and refractive index, are determined with the following equations [28,29].…”

“…In addition, since metallic thin film-based technologies require special equipment, the production costs are quite high [12]. The combination of organic and inorganic materials is also used in many studies posing as photodiodes [13][14][15].…”
