We developed heterojunction-based Schottky solar cells consisting of π-conjugated polymers and n-type GaN. Poly (3,4-ethylendioxythiophene):poly (styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was used as the transparent Schottky contact material and their electrical properties were investigated in comparison with those of a polyaniline (PANI) Schottky contact. The PEDOT:PSS/n-GaN/sapphire (0 0 0 1) sample exhibited high-quality rectifying characteristics with a low reverse leakage current of less than 10−8 A/cm2 at a reverse bias voltage of −3 V. While investigating the photovoltaic performance, it was observed that the open-circuit voltage of the PEDOT:PSS/n-GaN/sapphire (0 0 0 1) sample reached 0.8 V, which was much superior to the photovoltage reported for a conventional metal/GaN Schottky photodetector. We also confirmed that the PEDOT:PSS is as promising a material as PANI for π-conjugated polymer/GaN Schottky solar cells.
