Heterostructure diodes based on reactively co-sputtered AgxCu1−xI thin films — •Jorrit Marius Bredow, Sofie Vogt, Christiane Dethloff, Holger von Wenckstern, and Marius Grundmann — Universität Leipzig, Felix Bloch Institute for Solid State Physics, Germany

A wide band gap of 3 eV at room temperature and its intrinsic p-type conductivity[1] render copper iodide (CuI) a promising candidate for the fabrication of transparent heterostructure diodes. However, the often degenerate hole concentration of up to 1020 cm−3[1] of binary CuI impedes the realization of rectifying heterostructures where the depletion layer is located in the CuI. By alloying CuI with Ag, a reduction of conductivity and carrier density was demonstrated for an increasing silver fraction x[2]. Additionally, a switch from p- to n-type conductivity was reported, which enables the fabrication of heterostructure pn-diodes based on silver copper iodide (AgxCu1−xI)[3].

We present transparent heterostructure diodes based on the ternary alloy AgxCu1−xI on different n-type back contact layers. AgxCu1−xI is deposited by means of reactive co-sputtering of metallic Cu and Ag in an argon and iodide atmosphere. The influence of the back contact layers on the functionality and the rectifying behaviour of the pn-junctions is compared and presented.
