TLDR
In this article, self-aligned ZnO nanorods (NRs) were grown on n-Si(100) substrate by RF sputtering techniques and the average diameter, height, and density of NRs were found 48'nm, 750'nm and 1.26'×'1010'cm−2, respectively.Abstract:
Self-aligned ZnO nanorods (NRs) were grown on n-Si(100) substrate by RF sputtering techniques. The NRs are uniformly grown on 2-inch wafer along [0001] direction. Single-crystalline wurtzite structure of ZnO NRs was confirmed by X-ray diffraction. The average diameter, height, and density of NRs are found 48 nm, 750 nm, and 1.26 × 1010 cm−2, respectively. The current-voltages (I-V) characteristics of ZnO NRs/Si heterojunction (HJ) were studied in the temperature range of 120–300 K and it shows a rectifying behavior. Barrier height (ϕB) and ideality factor (η) were estimated from thermionic emission model and found to be highly temperature dependent in nature. Richardson constant (A*) was evaluated using Richardson plot of ln(Io/T2) versus q/kT plot by linear fitting in two temperature range 120–180 K and 210–300 K. Large deviation in Richardson constant from its theoretical value of n-Si indicates the presence of barrier inhomogeneities at HJ. Double Gaussian distribution of barrier height with thermionic...read more
