The obtained undoped and Cr doped thin films of CuO have been comprehensively characterized via X-ray diffraction (XRD), ultraviolet–vis (UV–vis) spectroscopy, the current–voltage ( I – V ) and capacitance–voltage ( C – V ) characteristics for providing information on quality of the crystalline nature, change in energy band gap and electrical properties, respectively. Structural analysis results which obtained from XRD data demonstrate that CuO films conjunction with Cr doping indicated that all thin films have monoclinic polycrystalline nature, with two main peaks (002) and (111) with d hkl about 2.52 and 2.32 Å, respectively. The transmittance and energy band gap value of undoped and Cr doped thin films of CuO ranging in varying concentration ratio have been determined in the wavelength region of 300 to 1100 nm. UV–vis spectrum analysis results indicate that both transmittance value and energy band gap of the CuO films is changed with increasing Cr doping ratio in CuO solution at room temperature. The I–V and C–V characteristic of Cr:CuO/p-Si diodes were associated with the CuO/p-Si diodes. It is seen that doping of Cr had a significant change onv the obtained devices’ performance. Thus, the Cr:CuO/p-Si diodes generated by 1% Cr doping using spin coating method had the highest light sensitivity compared with those of the other diodes.
