Ag Incorporated MoO3 Thin Films and Fabrication of Ag/MoO3/p-Si Structured Photodiode

Abstract

MoO₃ have been widely investigated for their applications ranging from electronics to energy storage. Orthorhombic structured MoO₃ thin films were prepared on a glass substrate. The Ag doped materials to add the MoO₃ in different concentrations (1%, 3%, 5%) at Wt% with MoO₃ precursor and synthesis was done using the spray pyrolysis method. X-ray diffraction revealed the incorporation of Ag in the MoO₃ orthorhombic structure. FE-SEM images showed more dispersive and rod shapes than Agi-doped MoO₃ and pure MoO₃ respectively. The jet nebulizer spray pyrolysis technique for fabrication of n-Ag: MoO3/p-Si photodiodes makes it suitable for good response photo-detecting applications.
