In this study, the effect of polar face on Schottky barrier diodes has been investigated. Two samples of ZnO were grown hydrothermally under similar growth conditions. The Palladium (Pd) metal contacts of area 0.78 mm2were fabricated on both faces and were studied comprehensively using DLS-83 Deep Level Spectrometer over temperature range of 160K330K. The current-voltage (IV) measurements revealed that the ideality factor n and barrier height ϕBwere strongly temperature dependent for both faces (Zn and O-face) of ZnO, indicating that the thermionic emission is not the dominant process, which showed the inhomogenity in the barrier heights of grown samples. This barrier height inhomogenity was explained by applying Gaussian distribution model. The extrapolation of the linear ϕapverses n plot to n = 1 has given a homogeneous barrier height of approximately 0.88±0.01 eV and 0.76±0.01 eV for Zn and O-faces respectively. ϕapversus 1/T plot was drawn to obtain the values of mean barrier height for Zn and O-face (0.88±0.01 eV, 0.76±0.01 eV) and standard deviation (δs) (0.015±0.001 V, 0.014±0.001 V) at zero bais respectively. The value of δsfor the Zn-face is larger than O-face, showing that inhomogenity in the barrier heights is more in the sample grown along Zn-face as compared to the sample grown along O-face.

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.

The electrical transport behavior ofn-nindium nitride nanodot-silicon (InN ND-Si) heterostructure Schottky diodes is reported here, which have been fabricated by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. InN ND structures were grown on a 20 nm InN buffer layer on Si substrates. These dots were found to be single crystalline and grown along [0 0 0 1] direction. Temperature-dependent current density-voltage plots (J-V-T) reveal that the ideality factor (η) and Schottky barrier height (SBH) (ΦB) are temperature dependent. The incorrect values of the Richardson constant (A**) produced suggest an inhomogeneous barrier. Descriptions of the experimental results were explained by using two models. First one is barrier height inhomogeneities (BHIs) model, in which considering an effective area of the inhomogeneous contact provided a procedure for a correct determination ofA**. The Richardson constant is extracted ~110 A cm-2K-2using the BHI model and that is in very good agreement with the theoretical value of 112 A cm-2K-2. The second model uses Gaussian statistics and by this, mean barrier heightΦ0andA**were found to be 0.69 eV and 113 A cm-2K-2, respectively.
