  • Abstract
    The junction parameters of Al/p-Si/Ag and Al/p-Si/DNA/Ag diodes were studied using current–voltage (I–V), capacitance–voltage (C–V), and capacitance–frequency (C–f) measurements. The photoresponse properties of the diodes were analyzed using transient photocurrent measurements. The photoresponse of the Al/p-Si/DNA/Ag diode is better than that of Al/p-Si/Ag diode. The ideality factor and barrier height values of the Al/p-Si/DNA/Ag diode were obtained to be 1.2 ± 0.1 and 0.56 ± 0.02 eV, respectively. The capacitance of the diodes increases with decreasing frequency which is explained by the change in the interface states. These results indicate that the p-Si/DNA junction could be used as an optical sensor.
