Performance of Ag/CdS/Au Schottky diode fabricated on free-standing cellulose paper

Cellulose nano-fibers were used to fabricate free-standing and flexible paper for its probable application in paper electronic technology. A simple Ag/CdS/Au Schottky diode was realized by successively evaporating Ag, CdS and Au using appropriate masks on cellulose paper. Microstructural properties and Raman spectroscopy measurements were utilized to characterize the individual layers constituting the above Schottky structure. I-V and C-V characteristics were recorded to ascertain the quality of the Ag/CdS/Au diode printed on the cellulose paper used as substrate.

Automated summary

Cellulose nano-fibers were used to fabricate a flexible paper and a simple Ag/CdS/Au Schottky diode was successfully created on it. Characterization and testing were conducted to evaluate the quality of the diode.
