A p-type organic semiconductor (P3HT) was then coated over the nanowires. The device was completed by covering the active region with a glass/ITO/PEDOT-PSS transparent electrode, and soldering contacts to the n+ substrate and ITO film with an indium alloy solder. The device has good diode IV characteristics and good photocurrent (uA range for a 1 cm x 1 cm device), but low photovoltage. Work is in progress to further characterize the device response and improve the characteristics. |  | This paper is available to CTSI members in PDF© format. | | ISBN: | 1-4200-6382-0 |
