TY - JOUR T1 - Improved Electrical Properties of PSi Photodetector by Embedding Ag AU - Kream Alaarage, Warood JO - Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences VL - 13 IS - 19 SP - 8081 EP - 8085 PY - 2018 DA - 2001/08/19 SN - 1816-949x DO - jeasci.2018.8081.8085 UR - https://makhillpublications.co/view-article.php?doi=jeasci.2018.8081.8085 KW - Porous Silicon (PSi) KW -silver nanoparticles KW -XRD KW -SEM KW -FTIR KW -photodetector KW -responsivity AB - The nanostructure silicon known as Porous Silicon (PSi) was prepared by the technique of electrochemical etching of crystalline silicon doped boron (p-type) with orientation (100) by using Teflon cell, HF with 40% concentration and Methanol with purity (99.9%) in (1:2) ratio at 9 mA/cm2 current density and 13 min etching time. Ag nanoparticles was prepared by chemical reduction method. The structural, optical and electrical properties was investigated by using X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR) and UV-visible spectrum. The electrical properties of Ag/PSi/c-Si/Al junction was studied by using dark I-V, illuminated I-V, C-V measurement and responsivity. The current study showed improvement in the electrical properties PSi photodetector after embedding AgNPs. ER -
