    Diode leakage current consists of diffusion (I<inf>d</inf>) and generation current (I<inf>g</inf>), which is strongly sensitive to the residual defect density. These defects can be studied by activation energy (E<inf>a</inf>). Therefore, this paper presents a method for calculating activation energy of silicon p-n junctions from volume generation current. It combines temperature-dependent current-voltage (I -V) and capacitance- voltage (C-V) measurements of diodes. The I<inf>g</inf> can be found from the volume leakage current by subtraction of the volume diffusion current, which is calculated while the depletion width is zero. The activation energy (E<inf>a</inf>) is derived from slope of an Arrhenius plot of I<inf>g</inf>. To derive the correct slope the temperature dependence of the depletion width, which is obtained from the corrected volume capacitance has been applied. The E<inf>a</inf> profile below junction has been shown. The lower E<inf>a</inf> value has been found near the junction, which may relate to the junction implantation. © (2011) Trans Tech Publications.

    In this article, we have studied contact between indium tin oxide (ITO) and n-type silicon. First, the characteristics of ITO thin films have been identified. The films have high transparent and low resistivity (∼88 % of transmittance and 2.8×10<sup>-3</sup> Ω-cm). Fabrication of the ITO/n-Si photodetector was presented which was ITO thin layer deposited on 10 Ω-cm resistivity silicon wafer by R.F. sputter method. Finally, a study of characteristics of the photodetector such as I-V characteristics, C-V characteristics, and frequency response has been done. The photodetectors have built in voltage (V<inf>bi</inf>) about 0.26 V, the dark current of 5 μA and light current of 1.5 mA at 25,000 lux, 5V. Capacitance and frequency response are about 110 pF and 120 kHz, respectively.
