Abstract

The various electrical properties and the nature of conduction mechanisms of magnesium phthalocyanine thin film devices with top and bottom aluminium electrodes have been investigated. The conduction mechanism was identified as injection limited essentially due to the electrode material. Even with the same electrode materials, the device showed asymmetric conduction behavior in the forward and reverse bias. In general the conduction was interpreted as a Schottky emission with barrier height Φ s =1.07 eV for the forward bias and Φ s =1.09 eV in the reverse bias. The effect of oxygen on the conductivity of the device has also been investigated. In the oxygen doped samples the conductivity is decreased which may be attributed to an interfacial layer between the electrode and the organic layer. Further in the oxygen doped sample while a Schottky emission is observed at lower voltages Poole-Frenkel conductivity was identified in the higher voltage region.
