In this paper, the electricalcharacteristics of Ergermanideschottkyjunction werestudied for source / drain of n-typeschottky barrier Ge MOSFET.Ergermanideshowed the lowest ideality factor at RTP temperature of 600°C among the applied temperature range. When RTP temperature was increased, barrier height and work function of Ergermanidebecame similar to those of Er2Ge3. From the analysis of the leakage current, it is shown that the Poole-Frenkel barrier lowering was dominant at RTP 600°C and the influence of the Schottky barrier lowering was decreased as RTP temperature increased. The electrical characteristics of Ergermanideare very sensitive to the RTP temperature andclosely related tothe trapsites which are generated by germanidation.

The diffusion welding (DW) is a comprehensive mechanism that can be extensively used to develop silicon carbide (SiC) Schottky rectifiers as a cheaper alternative to existing mainstream contact forming technologies. In this work, the Schottky barrier diode (SBD) fabricated by depositing Al-Foil on the p-type 4H-SiC substrate with a novel technology; DW. The electrical properties of physically fabricated Al-Foil/4H-SiC SBD have been investigated. The current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics based on the thermionic emission model in the temperature range (300 K–450 K) are investigated. It has been found that the ideality factor and barrier heights of identically manufactured Al-Foil/p-type-4H-SiC SBDs showing distinct deviation in their electrical characteristics. An improvement in the ideality factor of Al-Foil/p-type-4H-SiC SBD has been noticed with an increase in temperature. An increase in barrier height in fabricated SBD is also observed with an increase in temperature. We also found that these increases in barrier height, improve ideality factors and abnormalities in their electrical characteristics are due to structural defects initiation, discrete energy level formation, interfacial native oxide layer formation, inhomogenous doping profile distribution and tunneling current formation at the SiC sufaces.

Graphene’s superior electronic and thermal properties have gained extensive attention from research and industrial sectors to study and develop the material for various applications such as in sensors and diodes. In this paper, the characteristics and performance of carbon-based nanostructure applied on a Trench Metal Oxide Semiconductor MOS barrier Schottky (TMBS) diode were investigated for high temperature application. The structure used for this study was silicon substrate with a trench and filled trench with gate oxide and polysilicon gate. A graphene nanowall (GNW) or carbon nanowall (CNW), as a barrier layer, was grown using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method. The TMBS device was then tested to determine the leakage current at 60 V under various temperature settings and compared against a conventional metal-based TMBS device using TiSi2 as a Schottky barrier layer. Current-voltage (I-V) measurement data were analyzed to obtain the Schottky barrier height, ideality factor, and series resistance (Rs) values. From I-V measurement, leakage current measured at 60 V and at 423 K of the GNW-TMBS and TiSi2-TMBS diodes were 0.0685 mA and above 10 mA, respectively, indicating that the GNW-TMBS diode has high operating temperature advantages. The Schottky barrier height, ideality factor, and series resistance based on dV/dln(J) vs. J for the GNW were calculated to be 0.703 eV, 1.64, and 35 ohm respectively.

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.

In this work, the electrical properties of Pt/GaN Schottky contacts were studied. The temperature dependence of the barrier height and ideality factor, and the low experimental value of the Richardson’s constant, were discussed considering the formation of an inhomogenous Schottky barrier. Local current-voltage measurements on Pt/GaN contact, performed with a conductive atomic force microscope, demonstrated a Gaussian distribution of the local barrier height values and allowed to monitor the degree of inhomogeneity of the barrier. The presence of defects, terminating on the bare GaN surface, was correlated with the electrical behavior of the inhomogeneous barrier.

Electrical characteristics of 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes, based on buried grid design are presented. The diodes, rated to 1200V/10A and assembled into high temperature capable TO254 packages, have been tested and studied up to 250°C. Compared to conventional SiC Schottky diodes, Ascatron's buried grid SiC Schottky diode demonstrates several orders of magnitude reduced leakage current at high temperature operation.

The Relationship

We clarified the relationship between the enhanced leakage current of SiC Junction Barrier Schottky diodes and the stacking faults in the SiC crystal at the SiC and metal electrode interface by measuring the electrical and optical properties, and confirm by using the numerical simulations. Numerical simulation considering local lowering of Schottky barrier height, which is 0.8 eV lower than that of 4H-SiC well explained the 2-4 orders of magnitude higher reverse leakage current caused by the SFs. We concluded that the locally lowering of the Schottky barrier height at the 3C-SiC layer in the 4H-SiC surface is a main cause of the large reverse leakage current.
