Section: Impedance and Capacitance Spectroscopymentioning
The AC properties of high-efficiency (η = 8.01% under standard 100 mW/cm 2 AM1.5 illumination) small-molecule bulk heterojunction (SM BHJ) solar cells (p-DTS(FBTTh 2 ) 2 /PC 70 BM) at different DC biases and frequencies of small amplitude (±10 mV) AC signal in the dark at room temperature were investigated in details. We showed the presence of interface states at the heterojunction interface and determined their parameters from the analysis of spectral distributions of real and imaginary components of the measured impedance. The dielectric constant of BHJ ε BHJ = 2.9 was determined from the geometrical capacitance of totally depleted BHJ layer. We explained quantitatively the effect of interface states and series resistance on the measured C-V characteristics of the SM BHJ solar cells at both low and high frequencies. The quantitative value of the density of defect states in the bulk N = 1.05 × 10 16 cm À3 was determined from the high frequency C-V characteristic corrected by the effect of the series resistance.

Section: Methods To Determine the D It At High-k / Ingaas Interfacesmentioning
Methods to extract trap densities at high-permittivity ͑k͒ dielectric/III-V semiconductor interfaces and their distribution in the semiconductor band gap are compared. The conductance method, the Berglund intergral, the Castagné-Vapaille ͑high-low frequency͒, and Terman methods are applied to admittance measurements from metal oxide semiconductor capacitors ͑MOSCAPs͒ with high-k / In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As interfaces with different interface trap densities. The results are discussed in the context of the specifics of the In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As band structure. The influence of different conduction band approximations for determining the ideal capacitance-voltage ͑CV͒ characteristics and those of the MOSCAP parameters on the extracted interface trap density are investigated. The origins of discrepancies in the interface trap densities determined from the different methods are discussed. Commonly observed features in the CV characteristics of high-k / In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As interfaces are interpreted and guidelines are developed to obtain reliable estimates for interface trap densities and the degree of Fermi level ͑un͒pinning for high-k / In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As interfaces.
