Hi, I'm studying the electrical properties of amorphous SiC.
I have plotted the I-V curve using data coming from a 4 probe configuration on a TLM structure: the two probes for voltage measurement are in 2 contact pads distant 70micron and the other 2 probes for current injection are in other two external contact pads.
The current used is: from -0.01pA to 0.01pA.
The graphs are more or less straight lines. The strange thing is that at 0 current the voltage is different from zero (around 300 mV).
The idea is that there aren't ohmic contacts , because for ohmic contacts at 0 current the voltage drop should be zero too.
Anyway I don't understand why there is a voltage drop at 0 current.
