Abstract
We report a new method to characterize the local electronic properties of polycrystalline semiconducting thin films. A lattice of triangular gold electrodes, with a typical area of 0.2 mm2, is evaporated on a p-type WS2 film. With the help of a conductive atomic force microscope, the current voltage characteristics of the contacts established between the gold electrodes and the WS2 film are measured. A linear dependence of the current versus voltage is obtained on gold triangles in contact with grain edges. This indicates a high level of doping or degeneracy of the semiconductor at the grain edges. The electrodes deposited on flat WS2 crystallites form rectifying diodes with the underlying grains. Barrier heights of 0.56 0.74 eV and diode ideality factors between 1.15 and 2 are determined. Under illumination, open-circuit voltages up to 500 mV can be measured on some contacts. A short response time of the photocurrent is observed (100 ms), linked to trapping effects
at grain boundaries.
