Thin films of AgInSe2 ternary compound were grown by a successive process in which the production of AIS-Ag-AIS-Ag-AIS-Ag layers was deposited by e-beam and thermal evaporation on p-type silicon substrates. The formation of a stoichiometric AgInSe2 thin film with 75.2% crystallinity was achieved and the film had homogenous and smooth surfaces. n-AgInSe2/p-Si structure has exhibited good rectifying behavior with rectification ratio of 3.99 x 10(3). The ideality factor and saturation current were found to be 1.74 and 2.71 x 10(-7) A, respectively. The n-AgInSe2/p-Si heterojunction diode exhibited non-ideal reverse-bias capacitance-voltage (C-2-V) characteristic due to fully depletion of n-AgInSe2 side. The basic photovoltaic parameters of the diode such as open-circuit voltage (V-oc), short-circuit current (I-sc), and fill factor (FF) were obtained as 0.49 V, 4.03 mA, and 27.65%, respectively.

Mechanical and optical properties of SiO2 thin films deposited on glass Simurka, Lukas; Ctvrtlik, Radim; Tomastik, Jan; Bektaş, Gence; Svoboda, Jan; Bange, Klaus (2018-09-01) The optical and mechanical properties of amorphous SiO2 films deposited on soda-lime silicate float glass by reactive RF magnetron sputtering at room temperature were investigated in dependence of the process pressure. The densities of the films are strongly influenced by the process pressure and vary between 2.38 and 1.91 g cm(-3) as the pressure changes from 0.27 to 1.33 Pa. The refractive indices of the films shift between 1.52 and 1.37, while the residual compressive stresses in the deposited films vary...
Electrical Characterization of ZnInSe2/Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 Thin-Film Heterojunction Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-05-01) ZnInSe2/Cu0.5Ag0.5InSe2 diode structures have been fabricated by thermal evaporation of stacked layers on indium tin oxide-coated glass substrates. Temperature-dependent dark current-voltage measurements were carried out to extract the diode parameters and to determine the dominant conduction mechanisms in the forward- and reverse-bias regions. The heterostructure showed three order of magnitude rectifying behavior with a barrier height of 0.72 eV and ideality factor of 2.16 at room temperature. In the high...
Structural and electrical analysis of poly-Ge films fabricated by e-beam evaporation for optoelectronic applications Kabacelik, Ismail; KULAKCI, MUSTAFA; Turan, Raşit (2016-12-01) We have investigated the relationship between structural and electrical properties of Ge thin films deposited on single crystal silicon (100) substrates by electron beam evaporation at room temperature. Post-thermal annealing was applied to obtain poly-crystalline Ge thin films. The structural effects of the annealing temperature and annealing time on the crystallization of Ge films were analyzed using Raman and X-ray diffraction measurements. Raman and X-ray diffraction spectra revealed a structural evolut...
Electrical and ellipsometry study of sputtered SiO2 structures with embedded Ge nanocrystals Basa, P.; Alagoz, A. S.; Lohner, T.; Kulakci, M.; Turan, Raşit; Nagy, K.; Horvath, Zs. J. (2008-04-15) SiO2 layer structures with a middle layer containing Ge nanocrystals were prepared by sputtering on n- and p-type Si substrates, and by consecutive annealing. Ge content in the middle layer was varied in the range of 40-100%. Most of the structures exhibited low breakdown voltages. The current through the structures became Schottky-like after breakdown. However, some p-type samples showed a considerable memory effect. It was obtained by spectroscopic ellipsometry that the middle layer contains amorphous Ge ...
Study on the Structural and Electrical Properties of Sequentially Deposited Ag-Ga-In-Te Thin Films Coskun, EMRE; Gullu, H. H.; Parlak, Mehmet; Ercelebi, C. (2015-02-01) The structural properties and electrical conduction mechanisms of Ag-Ga-In-Te thin films deposited by a combination of e-beam and thermal evaporation methods were studied for various annealing temperatures. Structural analysis showed the existence of InTe and InTe binary phases at the early stage of crystallization and monophase of AgGaInTe with the main orientation along (112) direction following the post-annealing at 400 C. The effects of the structural changes on electrical properties and temperature dep...
