Hole Doping Through Indium Intercalation Into Nickel Phthalocyanine

Article Preview

Abstract:

A new intercalation of indium and nickel phthalocyanine(NiPc) thin films is developed by using thermal co-evaporation technique. X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and optical absorption spectroscopy of In-doped NiPc suggest the crystal structure of In-doped NiPc is α-phase as same as that of pristine NiPc. Current-voltage characteristic of Shottky diode fabricated with In-doped NiPc thin film shows the enhancement of charge carrier concentration due to indium doping. Further photoelectron spectroscopy experiments prove that In-doped NiPc is hole transport material.
