Influence of fabrication conditions on the electrical behaviour of polymer Schottky diodes

Evidence is presented which shows that anomalies in the I-V characteristics of Schottky diodes formed from electrodeposited poly(3-methylthiophene) are related to the time films are held under vacuum prior to deposition of the rectifying aluminium electrode. For short times (similar to 15 mins) a plateau appears in the forward bias characteristic which disappears leading to a significant voltage offset as the device ages or is driven into high forward bias.
