Abstract

This paper reports the sensing properties of organic semiconducting material N-Butyl-N`-(6-hydroxyhexyl) perylene-3,4,9,10-tetracarboxylic acid diimide (N-BuHHPDI). For this purpose, Au/N-BuHHPDI/Au sensor is fabricated using vacuum thermal deposition. In order to check the sensing capabilities of the device, the electrical capacitance and resistance is investigated under different temperature, light and humidity conditions. The sensor exhibited good response to humidity, light and temperature. Making use of the Tauc’s law, optical band gaps (2 eV, 2.18 eV and 3.78 eV) of N-BuHHPDI is calculated from its UV-Vis spectrum. The morphology of the film is investigated using atomic force microscopy (AFM).
