Abstract
Impedance characterization at different temperatures has been used to investigate the conductive behavior of Poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT), prepared in different solvents, as the semiconductor layer in organic multilayer capacitor. It has been found that the P3HT films using chloroform and toluene solvents exhibit an enhancement in conductivity by heating following an Arrhenius law with an activation energy transition from 0.004 to 0.026 eV and from 0.002 to 0.015 eV at ~313 K, respectively, which originates from band tail hopping that occurs around the Fermi edge. The boiling point of the used solvents can affect P3HT crystallization process, which causes the difference in conduction and activation energy.
