Abstract
A soluble form of narrow-gap polymer poly-tert-butyl-isothionaphthalen e (PTBITN) has been used in the formation of a Schottky diode with the rectifying contact occurring between PTBITN and the aluminium interfa ce region. Indium-tin oxide (ITO) was used as the back transparent ele ctrode and also served as an ohmic contact with the polymer. The devic e fabricated shows typical photoelectrical and photovoltaic characteri stics. In addition, the optical response with regards to photovoltaic effects mirrors that of its absorption spectrum.
