Abstract

Effect of Light intensity on the I-V characteristics of LaF3/PS heterojunction has been investigated in this report. LaF3 layers have been deposited by a novel chemical bath deposition (CBD) technique. With this simple technique LaF3 produced as LaCl3 are made to react with hydrofluoric (HF) acid on the porous silicon substrate. This enables direct deposition of LaF3 on the pore walls of the porous silicon leading to a successful passivation of PS. The compositions of the deposited LaF3 were confirmed by Energy Dispersive of X-ray (EDX) analysis. The current increases with light intensity. From the experimental results it can be concluded that lanthanum fluorides can be deposited on the PS surface by the CBD technique, which provides the required passivation for PS. This passivation can enable the PS to be considered as an important material for photonics.
