ABSTRACTSchottky diodes were fabricated from boron doped diamond grown in a turbulent flame. The substrates used were type IIa diamond (100) crystals 1.5 mm in diameter and.25 mm thick. A p/p+ structure was deposited using the p+ layer as an ohmic contact. Current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements were made on the finished devices. An ideality factor of 1.8 was obtained from the I-V characteristics. Doping levels from C-V measurements indicate an acceptor concentration on the order of 5 × 1017/cm3.

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.

AbstractIn this study, CuO/n-Si/Al heterojunction contacts were fabricated by thermal evaporation technique. Electrical characteristics of the samples were investigated with the current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage/frequency (C-V/f), and conductance-voltage (G/V) measurements at room temperature. Also, Cu/n-Si/Al Schottky contact was produced as a reference sample to investigate the electrical properties of the samples. The values of ideality factor (n), barrier height (Φb) and series resistance (Rs) of the samples were calculated from the forward bias current-voltage (I-V) and reverse bias capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics. Also, for checking the consistency of the results, Cheung and Norde functions were used. The experimental result values of CuO/n-Si contact were compared with the values of the reference Cu/n-Si Schottky diode. It was observed that the values of the ideality factor and barrier height of the CuO/n-Si heterojunction were higher than those of the Cu/n-Si Schottky contact, while the series resistance was lower. Also, it has been observed that the value of capacitance decreased with increasing frequency and after a certain value of frequency it was almost constant. The ideality factor of CuO/n-Si/Al heterostructure is about 2.40 and so, it is not close to the ideal behavior.

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.

ABSTRACTDry etch damage on n-GaN has been investigated using Pd Schottky diodes fabricated on surfaces etched by conventional reactive ion etching with SiCl4 plasma. The Schottky barrier height and ideality factor were investigated as a function of the plasma self-bias voltage. Current-voltage measurements revealed severe degradation of both the forward and reverse characteristics for plasma self-bias voltages in excess of -150 V.

Current Voltage Characteristics

The defects produced by irradiation with 7 MeV C+ induce a change in the electrical properties of 4H-SiC Schottky diodes. Capacitance-voltage and Current-voltage characteristics of the diodes fabricated in epilayers doped with different nitrogen concentrations were monitored before and after irradiation with different fluences. The Capacitance-voltage curves show free carrier compensation after low fluence irradiation and it was found that the reduction of carriers per ion induced vacancy increases with nitrogen content. The forward current-voltage characteristics of the diodes show an increase in the series resistance after irradiation. This change is mainly related to the high compensation occurring around the end of the ion range.

In this paper, we give a systematical description of Ni|6H-SiC Schottky diode by current--voltage I(V) characteristics at room temperature and capacitance--voltage C(V) characteristics at various frequencies (10-800 kHz) and various temperatures (77-350oK). The I(V) characteristics show a double-barrier phenomenon, which gives a low and high barrier height (phiLbn=0.91 eV, phiHbn=1.55 eV), with a difference of Deltaphibn=0.64 eV. Also, low ideality factor nL=1.94 and high ideality factor nH=1.22 are obtained. The C-V-T measurements show that the barrier height phibn decreases with decreasing of temperature and gives a temperature coefficient alpha=1.0·10-3 eV/K and phibn(T=0 K)=1.32 eV. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) has been used to investigate deep levels in the Ni|6H-SiC Schottky diode. The traps signatures such as activation energies Ea=0.50±0.07 eV, capture cross-section sigma=1.8·10-20 cm2, and defect concentration NT=6.2·1013 cm-3 were calculated from Arrhenius plots. Keywords: si1licon carbide, Schottky diodes, I-V, C-V-T, deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS).
