Temperature dependent current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were utilized to understand the transport mechanism of Pd Schottky diodes fabricated on Zn- and O-faces of ZnO. From I-V measurements, in accordance with the thermionic emission mechanism theory, it was found that the series resistance Rsand the ideality factor n were strongly temperature dependent that decreased with increasing temperature for both the faces (Zn and O-face) of ZnO revealing that the thermionic emission is not the dominant process. The barrier height øB(I-V)increased with increasing temperature for both faces. The measured values of ideality factor, barrier height and series resistance for Zn- and O-faces at room temperature were 4.4, 0.60 eV, 217 Ω and 2.8, 0.49 eV, 251 Ω respectively. The capacitance-voltage (C–V) measurements were used to determine the doping concentration Nd, the built-in-potential Vbi, and the barrier height øB(C-V). The doping concentration was found to be decreased with increasing depth. The barrier height øB(C-V)calculated for O-polar and Zn-polar faces decreases with increasing temperature. The values of barrier height øB(C-V)determined from C-V measurements were found higher than the values of barrier height øB(I-V). Keeping in view the calculated values of ideality factor, barrier height, and series resistance shows that O-polar face is qualitatively better than Zn-polar face.

ABSTRACTCopper Schottky diodes on n-type GaN grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition were achieved and investigated. Ti/Al was used as the ohmic contact. The copper metal is deposited by the Sputter system. The barrier height was determined to be as high as (ΦB =1.13eV by current-voltage (I-V) method and corrected to be ΦB =1.35eV as considered the ideality factor, n, with the value of 1.2. By the capacitance-voltage (C-V) method, the barrier height is determined to be ΦB =1.41eV. Both results indicate that the sputtered copper metal is a high barrier height Schottky metal for n-type GaN.

ABSTRACTElectron cyclotron resonance (ECR) plasma etching of single crystal 6H-SiC has been investigated using a CF4/O2 gas mixture and compared to conventional reactive ion etching (RIE) in a radio frequency (13.56 MHz) reactor. The use of ECR results in higher etch rates, lower levels of bias and smoother etched surfaces than rf-RIE. ECR etch rates exceeding 100 nm/min have been obtained at a substrate bias of-100 V. Etch rate and surface morphology have been studied as a function of pressure, bias and power. Auger electron spectroscopy shows that ECR etching leaves no residues unlike rf-RIE which leaves residues containing Al, F, O and C. The current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements of Schottky diodes show that there is far less damage induced by ECR etching compared to rf-RIE.

ABSTRACTIn this paper the electrical properties of epitaxial CoSi2 on Si obtained by solid-state reaction of a Ti/Co bimetallic layer are investigated. Low temperature resistivity, magnetoresistance and Hall data are presented. The CoSi2ISi Schottky diodes are characterised by current - voltage and capacitance - voltage measurements at temperatures varying between - 100°C and 60°C.

AbstractDeep levels have been measured in molecular beam epitaxy grown Ga0.51In0.49P/GaAs heterostructure by double correlation deep level transient spectroscopy. Gold(Au) and Aluminum (Al) metals were used for Schottky contact. A contact-related hole trap with an activation energy of 0.50-0.75eV was observed at the A1/GaInP interface, but not at the Au/GaInP interface. To our knowledge, this contact-related trap has not been reported before. We attribute this trap to the oxygen contamination, or a vacancy-related defect, VIn or VGa. A new electron trap at 0.28eV was also observed in both Au- and Al-Schottky diodes. Its depth profile showed that it is a bulk trap in GaInP epilayer. The temperature dependent current-voltage characteristics (I-V-T) show a large interface recombination current at the GaInP surface due to the Al-contact. Concentration of the interface trap and the magnitude of recombination current are both reduced by a rapid thermal annealing at/or above 450°C after the aluminum deposition.
