Abstract

Doping dependent current-voltage measurements have been performed on poly(3-methylthiophene) based devices in metal/polymer/metal geometry in temperature range 90-300 K. In low doped device, space charge limited current (SCLC) controlled by exponentially distributed traps is observed at all the measured temperatures. Trap density and characteristic energy are found to be 2x10(15) cm(-3) and 29.7 meV respectively. In case of moderately doped device, similar trend is observed with trap density and characteristic energy as 5x10(14) cm(-3) and 15.5 meV respectively. The high values of trap parameters are attributed to the more disorder in less doped device. A transition from trap-controlled to trap-free SCLC is observed in highly doped device. The plausible reasons for the origin of disorder and the transition in the transport mechanism with doping are discussed.
