Junction properties of aluminum/polypyrrole (polypyrrole derivatives) Schottky diodes

Abstract

The current–voltage characteristics of Schottky junctions formed by using aluminum on polypyrrole, poly(N-methyl pyrrole) and the copolymer poly(N-methyl pyrrole–pyrrole) have been investigated. The formation of the junctions has been confirmed by capacitance–voltage characteristics and Chot plots. The results have been explained on the basis of thermionic emission theory.
