Abstract

Amorphous silicon is a kind of optical to electric conversion material with current or voltage type after generating a numerous free electron and hole when it is injected by light. It is very effective technology to make schottky diode by bonding thin film to use optical diode. In this paper, we have fabricated optical diode device by forming chrome silicide film through thermal processing with thin film($100{\AA}$) having optimal amorphous silicon. The optimal condition is that we make a thin film by using PECVD(Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) to improve reliability and characteristics of optical diode. We have obtained high quality diode by using chrome silicide optical diode from dark current and optical current measurement compared to previous method. It makes a simple process and improves a good reliability.
