Abstract Present investigation demonstrates the physics at low voltage region of natural organic semiconductor based single layer device. Theoretical explanation of diffusion driven current equations has been implemented as an efficient way to study the charge transport mechanism in that regime. GPVDM (abbreviated form of General purpose photovoltaic model), a renowned software simulation technique of organic devices has been introduced to obtain current voltage relationship and fitted with diffusion assisted equation. The plot shows high consistency with theoretical explanation which indicates reliability of the plot. Simulation based observation on trap assisted conduction at low voltage and its relation with corresponding ideality factor at that region has been explained on the basis of theoretical point of view. It has been found that ideality factor decays exponentially with increasing trap energy at low voltage. Experimental approach has finally been employed on Turmeric and Indigo dye based single layer natural semiconducting diodes to validate the outcome of the proposal. Results of the experiment lead to great similarity with the outcomes of both theoretical and simulation approach.
