Fig. 3. Diode characteristics obtained for the hybrid GaN/PEDOT specimen.

Fig. 3

a Ideality factors and effective barrier heights obtained from the thermionic emission model for I–V measurements on the hybrid GaN/PEDOT specimen show temperature dependencies which are characteristic for lateral inhomogeneities. Evaluation of the characteristics with the model of thermionic emission over a laterally inhomogeneous barrier yields a mean barrier height of about ΦB,0m = 1.4 eV. The solid line represents a linear fit according to Eq. (3) for the effective barrier height. b Band diagram of the hybrid n-GaN/PEDOT structure. EV, EF, EC, and EVac correspond to the valence band, Fermi level, conduction band and vacuum level, respectively.
