Abstract

Developing better contacts on Si-nanowire (SiNW) arrays is one of the main challenges for Si-based device technology. The present work reports the fabrication and detailed electrical properties of graphene/SiNWs/n-type Si Schottky diodes. The graphene/H₂O₂-treated SiNWs/n-type Si Schottky diode shows a better rectifying behavior in the dark than the graphene/SiNWs/n-type Si diode. Such an improvement indicates that a good passivation is formed at the interface. The graphene/H₂O ₂-treated SiNWs/n-type Si Schottky diode also shows a higher photocurrent under illumination than the graphene/SiNWs/n-type Si diode. Results revealed that SiNW surface passivation influences the photoconductivity by reducing the number of electron traps that serve to decrease the photocurrent time constant.
