| dc.description.abstract | In this study, photonic sensor-based Al/(AgZnO:rGO(5%)-PVA)/n-Si/Al structures were fabricated and characterized through comprehensive electrical/optoelectronic measurements. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were investigated in dark and under various illumination-intensities (20-100 mW/cm(2)), while capacitance/conductance-voltage (C-V, G/omega-V) measurements were performed at 1 MHz and spanning -2.5 V to + 4.5 V. The fabricated-device exhibited pronounced rectifying-ratio (RR=I-for./I-rev.) exceeding four-orders of magnitude. Key electrical-parameters extracted included ideality-factors of 6.573-7.983 (Region-I) and 13.671-15.451 (Region-II), barrier heights (BHs) of 0.676-0.646 eV (I-V) and 1.124 eV (C-V), doping donor-concentration of 5.08 & times; 10(17)cm(-3), and depletion-width (W-d) of 159 nm. Barrier-height decreased linearly with light (Phi(B0)=-2.95 & times;10(-4)P+0.675 eV), yielding an illumination-coefficient (-2.95 & times;10(-4)eV/(mW/cm(2))) approaching silicon's temperature-coefficient (-4.73 & times;10(-4)eV/K). Photovoltaic parameters under 100 mW/cm(2) included a fill factor (FF) of 58% and an efficiency (tau) of 1.11%. Photocurrent exhibited supralinear power-law dependence (exponents 1.3054 at -2V, 1.2032 at 0 V), indicating interface-trap emptying and space-charge-region generation-recombination (GR) mechanisms. Series-resistance (R-s) decreased from 12.40 Omega to 10.61 Omega under illumination, while shunt-resistance (R-sh) dropped from 96.2k Omega to 0.491k Omega. Interface-state densities (N-ss) of 10(12)-10(13) eV(-1)cm(-2) accounted for elevated ideality factors. The composite interlayer, combining reduced graphene oxide (rGO) percolation pathways with AgZnO plasmonic enhancement, demonstrated a substantial bidirectional photo-response, establishing this architecture as promising for PS applications that are superior to conventional metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. | |
