Abstract :

Semiconductor nanorods represent a novel class of materials structure with a number of interesting properties that give them potential applications in optoelectronic devices, including light-emitting diodes (LEDs), photoelectrochemical systems, and�? solar cells. A chemical bath deposition (CBD) is attracting attention as low-cost film formation processes. In these processes, nucleation and crystal growth on substrate in solution result in the formation of metal��?oxide films. We present a fundamental experimental study of a microwave assisted chemical bath deposition (MW-CBD) method for Mg doped ZnO films. The MW-CBD method was used to prepare nanorod Mg doped ZnO (1% and 10%) films onto p-Si substrates. Zinc nitrate hexahydrate and magnesium nitrate were the precursor materials and doping source materials. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) spectroscopy had been used to analyze the morphological properties and structures of this films products, respectively. The current density��?voltage characteristics (I��?V) of the diodes were measured at room temperature. The important junction parameters such as series resistance (Rs), the ideality factor (n) and the barrier height (�?b) were determined by performing different plots from the forward bias I��?V characteristics. Norde function was compared with the Cheung functions and it is seen that there is a good agreement with both method for the series resisance values.
