Semiconductive polymer-based Schottky diode

Abstract
Polythiophene is easily obtained electrochemically on a Au surface in an acetonitrile/0.25 M LiClO4 solution. On the basis of this knowledge, we prepared a metal-semiconductor-metal Schottky diode, in which Au and Al were used as metals and freshly prepared polythiophene as a semiconductor. Current-voltage and capacity-voltage characteristics of this diode have been obtained under atmospheric conditions.
