Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 12Modification of Metal/Semiconductor Junctions by Self-Assembled Monolayer Organic Films(Elsevier Ltd., 2009) Yakuphanoğlu, Fahrettin; Okur, Salih; Özgener, HüseyinTwo new metal/molecule/semiconductor contacts, Au/n-Si/TDA/Au and Au/p-Si/ODM/Au, were fabricated to understand effect of organic compounds, tridecylamine and octadecylmercaptan self-assembled monolayer (SAM) films, on electrical charge transport properties of the metal/semiconductor junctions. The morphology of the organic monolayers deposited on Si substrates was investigated by atomic force microscopy. The molecular coverage of ODM deposited on p-Si is poorer than that of TDA on n-Si substrate. The ideality factors of the p-Si/ODM and n-Si/TDA diodes were found to be 1.66 and 1.48, respectively. The electrical results show that the tridecylamine monolayer passivated junction has a lower ideality factor. The ideality factor indicates clear dependence on two different type functional groups R-SH (Thiol) and R-NH2 (Amin) groups and it increases with different functional groups of organic molecule. The barrier height φb value of the n-Si/TDA diode is smaller than that of p-Si/ODM diode, as a result of chain length of the SAM organic molecules. The interface state density Dit values of the diodes were determined using conductance technique. The n-Si/TDA diode has the smaller interface state density according to p-Si/ODM diode. We have evaluated that the organic molecules control the electronic parameters of metal/semiconductor diodes and thus, organic modification helps to get one step closer towards to new organic assisted silicon based microelectronic devices.Article Citation - WoS: 74Humidity Sensing Properties of Zno-Based Fibers by Electrospinning(Elsevier Ltd., 2011) Horzum Polat, Nesrin; Taşçıoğlu, Didem; Okur, Salih; Demir, Mustafa MuammerZinc oxide (ZnO) based fibers with a diameter of 80-100 nm were prepared by electrospinning. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and zinc acetate dihydrate were dissolved in water and the polymer/salt solution was electrospun at 2.5 kV cm-1. The resulting electrospun fibers were subjected to calcination at 500 °C for 2 h to obtain ZnO-based fibers. Humidity sensing properties of the fiber mats were investigated by quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) method and electrical measurements. The adsorption kinetics under constant relative humidity (RH) between 10% and 90% were explained using Langmuir adsorption model. Results of the measurements showed that ZnO-based fibers were found to be promising candidate for humidity sensing applications at room temperature.
