From the I-V characteristic, the rectification ratio, diode quality factor and barrier height have been obtained for both AIIPDOPT/PEDOT-PSS/ITO and for AIIPDOPT/ITO structures. The Cole-Cole plot of the complex impedance spectra for AI/PDOPT/ITO exhibits part of a single bias voltage-dependant semicircle, which is a characteristic of most metal semiconductor junctions. The complex impedance spectra of AI/PDOPT/ PEDOTPSS/ ITO device showed two partially overlapping semicircles at reveres bias voltages which revealed the existence of thin insulating interfacial layer at metal/polymer junctionenElectronic Properties of Junctions between AluminumElectronic Properties of Junctions between Aluminum and Poly(3-(2,5-dioctylphenyl) Thiophene) (PDOPT) thin films.Thesis
