Abstract
Evidence is presented which shows that anomalies in the I-V characteri stics of Schottky diodes formed from electrodeposited poly(3-methylthi ophene) are related to the time films are held under vacuum prior to d eposition of the rectifying aluminium electrode. For short times (simi lar to 15 mins) a plateau appears in the forward bias characteristic w hich disappears leading to a significant voltage offset as the device ages or is driven into high forward bias.
