The current-voltage characteristics of ZnO/RuO2 Schottky diodes prepared by magnetron sputtering are shown to exhibit a reversible hysteresis behavior, which corresponds to a variation of the Schottky barrier height between 0.9 and 1.3 eV upon voltage cycling. The changes in the barrier height are attributed to trapping and de-trapping of electrons in oxygen vacancies.

In this work, we have presented a theoretical study of  Au/InSb/InP Schottky diode based on current-voltage (I-V) measurement in the temperature range ( 300 K- 425 K). Electrical parameters of Au/InSb/InP such as barrier height (Φb), ideality factor and series resistance have been calculated by employing the conventional (I-V), Norde, Cheung and Chattopadhyay methods. Measurements show that the Schottky barrier height (SBH), ideality factor and series resistance, RS for Au/InSb/InP Schottky diode in the temperature range (300 K–425 K)  are 0.602-0.69eV, 1.683-1.234 and 84.54-18.95 (Ω), respectively. These parameters were extracted using Atlas-Silvaco-Tcad logical.

Current Voltage Characteristics

A study of forward current-voltage characteristics of Ni/4H-SiC Schottky diodes (SDs) before and after irradiation with He+ ions revealed features that characterize defect structures and reveal the degradation mechanism of the diodes. These features are the presence of excess currents of certain type in the unirradiated SDs, their appearance in forward-biased originally ideal SDs, and a >10 orders of magnitude scatter of the series resistance of the SDs upon their irradiation with He+ ions. A model of localized defect-induced current paths (shunts) in the form of unintentionally produced SDs with the substrate is suggested.

Contact Parameters

Zr/p-Si Schottky diode was fabricated by DC magnetic sputtering of Zr on p-Si. Zr rectifying contact gave a zero bias barrier height of 0.73 eV and an ideality factor of 1.33 by current–voltage measurement. The experimental zero bias barrier height was higher than the value predicted by metal-induced gap states (MIGSs) and electronegativity theory. The forward bias current was limited by high series resistance. The series resistance value of 9840 [Formula: see text] was determined from Cheung functions. High value of the series resistance was ascribed to low quality ohmic contact. In addition to Cheung functions, important contact parameters such as barrier height and series resistance were calculated by using modified Norde method. Re-evaluation of modified Norde functions was realized in the direction of the method proposed by Lien et al. [IEEE Trans. Electron Devices 31 (1984) 1502]. From the method, the series resistance and ideality factor values were found to be as 41.49 [Formula: see text] and 2.08, respectively. The capacitance–voltage characteristics of the diode were measured as a function of frequency. For a wide range of applied frequency, the contact parameters calculated from [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] curves did not exhibit frequency dependence. The barrier height value of 0.71 eV which was in close agreement with the value of zero bias barrier height was calculated from [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] plot at 1 MHz. The values of acceptor concentration obtained from [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] curves showed consistency with actual acceptor concentration of p-Si.
