Fabrication and characterization of a hybrid heterojunction composed of N-type silicon and PEDOT:PSS

A hybrid organic/inorganic heterojunction has been fabricated using an n-type silicon wafer (< 111 >, 3 < ρ < 6 Ω · cm) and a p-type polymer, PEDOT:PSS (ρ = 1 Ω · cm). Standard fabrication techniques such as vacuum deposition and spin coating are required for fabrication and have been em...
