We have fabricated two types of Schottky barrier(SBDs),Au/SnO2/n-Si (MIS1) and Al/SnO2/p-Si (MIS2), to investigate the surface (Nss) and series resistance (Rs) effect on main electrical parameters such as zero-bias barrier height (ΦBo) and ideality factor (n) for these SBDs. The forward and reverse bias current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of them were measured at 200 and 295 K, and experimental results were compared with each other. At temperatures of 200 and 295 K, ΦBo, n, Nss and Rs for MIS1 Schottky diodes (SDs) ranged from 0.393 to 0.585 eV, 5.70 to 4.75, 5.42×1013 to 4.27×1013 eV?1 cm?2 and 514 to 388 Ω, respectively, whereas for MIS2 they ranged from 0.377 to 0.556 eV, 3.58 to 2.1, 1.25×1014 to 3.30×1014 eV?1 cm?2 and 312 to 290 Ω, respectively. The values of n for two types of SBDs are rather than unity and this behavior has been attributed to the particular distribution of Nss and interfacial insulator layer at the metal/semiconductor interface. In addition, the temperature dependence energy density distribution profiles of Nss for both MIS1 and MIS2 SBDs were obtained from the forward bias I–V characteristics by taking into account the bias dependence of effective barrier height (Φe) and Rs. Experimental results show that both Nss and Rs values should be taken into account in the forward bias I–V characteristics. It has been concluded that the p-type SBD (MIS2) shows a lower barrier height (BH), lower Rs, n and Nss compared to n-type SBD (MIS1), which results in higher current at both 200 and 295 K. 相似文献

In this study, we have examined Au/TiO2/n-Si Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs), in order to interpret in detail the experimental observed non-ideal current–voltage–temperature (I–V–T) characteristics. I–V characteristics were measured in the wide temperature range of 80–400 K. TiO2 was deposited on n-Si substrate by reactive magnetron sputtering. The zero-bias barrier height (ϕB0) and ideality factor (n) show strong temperature dependence. While n decreases, ϕB0 increases with increasing temperature. Experimental results show that the current across the SBDs may be greatly influenced by the existence of Schottky barrier height (SBH) inhomogeneity. These temperature behaviors have been explained on the basis of the thermionic emission (TE) theory with Gaussian distribution (GD) of the barrier heights (BHs) due to BH inhomogeneities at metal–semiconductor (M/S) interface. From this assumptions, obtaining Richardson constant value of the A* 121.01 A/cm2 K2 is perfect agreement with the theoretical value of 120 A/cm2 K2 for n-type Si. Hence, behaviors of the forward-bias I–V characteristics of the Au/TiO2/n-Si (SBDs) can be successfully explained on the basis of a TE mechanism with a double Gaussian distribution of the BHs. 相似文献

We demonstrate that a copper(II) organic complex can control the electrical characteristics of conventional Au/n-Si metal–semiconductor (MS) contacts. We investigated the electronic and photovoltaic properties of a Cu(II) complex/n-Si heterojunction diode. The ideality factor n and barrier height Φb of the diode were 2.22 and 0.736 eV, respectively. An ideality factor greater than unity indicates that the diode exhibits non-ideal current–voltage behavior. This behavior results from the effect of series resistance and the presence of an interfacial layer. The series resistance and barrier height determined using Norde’s method were 6.7 kΩ and 0.77 eV, respectively. The device showed photovoltaic behavior, with a maximum open-circuit voltage of 0.24 V and a short circuit current of 1.7 μA under light of 8 mW/cm2. 相似文献

Admittance (C–V and G/ω–V) measurements of Au/n-Si (metal–semiconductor, MS) and Au/SnO2/n-Si (metal–insulator–semiconductor, MIS) structures were carried out between 1 kHz and 1 MHz at room temperature to investigate the interfacial insulator layer effect on the electrical characteristics of Au/n-Si structures. Experimental results showed that MIS structure's capacitance (C) values, unlike those of MS structure, became stable especially at high frequencies in the accumulation region. Also, the insulator layer caused structure's shunt resistance (Rsh) to increase. It was found that series resistance (Rs) is more effective in the accumulation region at high frequencies after the correction was applied to C and G/ω data to eliminate the Rs effect. The density of interface states (Dis) was obtained using Hill–Coleman method, Dis values MIS structure was obtained smaller than those of MS structure. Results indicate that interfacial insulator layer brings about some improvements in electrical characteristics of Au/n-Si structures. 相似文献

A heterojunction device of Au/Fe-TPP/n-Si/Al was assembled by thermally evaporated deposition. The dark current density–voltage characteristics of device were investigated. Results showed a rectification behavior. Measurements of thermo electric power confirm that Fe-TPP thin film behaves as p-type semiconductors. Electronic parameters such as barrier height, diode ideality factor, series resistance, shunt resistance were found to be 0.83 eV, 1.5, 7 × 105 Ω and 2 × 1010 Ω, respectively. The Au/Fe-TPP/n-Si/Al device indicates a photovoltaic behavior with an open circuit voltage Voc of 0.52 V, short circuit current Isc of 2.22 × 10?6 A, fill factor FF of 0.49 and conversion efficiency 1.13% under white light illumination power 50 W/m2. 相似文献

In this study, the main electrical parameters of Au/TiO2(rutile)/n-Si Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) were analyzed by using current–voltage–temperature (I–V–T) characteristics in the temperature range 200–380 K. Titanium dioxide (TiO2) thin film was deposited on a polycrystalline n-type Silicon (Si) substrate using the DC magnetron sputtering system at 200 °C. In order to improve the crystal quality deposited film was annealed at 900 °C in air atmosphere for phase transition from amorphous to rutile phase. The barrier height (Φb) and ideality factor (n) were calculated from I–V characteristics. An increase in the value of Φb and a decrease in n with increasing temperature were observed. The values of Φb and n for Au/TiO2(rutile)/n-Si SBDs ranged from 0.57 eV and 3.50 (at 200 K) to 0.82 eV and 1.90 (at 380 K), respectively. In addition, series resistance (Rs) and Φb values of MIS SBDs were determined by using Cheung's and Norde's functions. Cheung's plots are obtained from the donward concave curvature region in the forward bias semi-logarithmic I–V curves originated from series resistance. Norde's function is easily used to obtain series resistance as a function of temperature due to current counduction mechanism which is dominated by thermionic emission (TE). The obtained results have been compared with each other and experimental results show that Rs values exhibit an unusual behavior that it increases with increasing temperature. 相似文献

The Au/n-Si Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) with 200-μm (sample D200) and 400-μm (sample D400) bulk thicknesses have been fabricated.
The ideality factor and the barrier height have been calculated from the forward-bias current-voltage (I-V) characteristics
of D200 and D400 SBDs. The energy distribution of the interface states and relaxation time are found from the capacitance-frequency
(C-f) characteristics. The density of interface state and relaxation times have a (nearly constant) slow exponential rise
with bias in the range of Ec −0.77 and Ec −0.47 eV from the midgap toward the bottom of the conductance band. Furthermore, the energy distribution of the interface
states obtained from C-f characteristics has been compared with that obtained from the forward-bias I-V characteristics. 相似文献

In this work, vertical Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) were fabricated using a thin film of ZnO (50 nm) and PEDOT:PSS deposited by RF Sputtering and micro-drop casting, respectively. ITO and Au were used as ohmic contacts to ZnO and PEDOT:PSS films, respectively. The final structure consisted on Glass/ITO/ZnO/PEDOT:PSS/Au. The SBDs performance was characterized under dark and four different wavelengths conditions. From current–voltage characteristics, under dark and ambient conditions, a diode ideality factor of 1.4; a saturation current density of 1×10−9 A/cm2; a Schottky barrier height of 0.9 eV and a rectification ratio of 5 orders of magnitude at ±1 V were obtained. A carrier density of 5×1017 cm−3 for the ZnO film was estimated from capacitance–voltage measurements. For their characterization as photodiodes, the SBDs were illuminated with an ultra-bright UV (~380 nm) LED. A maximum UV responsivity of 0.013 A/W was obtained. The transient response of the SBDs was also analyzed with the UV LED connected to a pulsed signal of 0.5 Hz, demonstrating rise and fall times in the order of 200 ms. With a low temperature processing (<80 °C), visible-blind and UV photon-detection characteristics, the fabricated SBDs are candidates for flexible optoelectronics devices such as optical receivers for digital signal processing and measurement of light intensity. 相似文献

The dark current density–voltage characteristic of Au/ZnPc/Al device at room temperature has been investigated. Results showed a rectification behavior. At low forward bias, the current density was found to be ohmic, while at high voltages, space charge limited the current mechanism dominated by exponential trapping levels. Junction parameters such as rectification ratio (RR), series resistance (Rs), and shunt resistance (Rsh) were found to be 9.42, 9.72 MΩ, and 0.88 × 103 MΩ, respectively. The current density–voltage characteristics under white light illumination (100 W/m2) gives values of 0.55 V, 3 × 10−3 A/m2, 0.18 and 5.8 × 10−4% for the open circuit voltage, Voc, the short circuit current density (Jsc), the fill factor (FF), and conversion efficiency (η), respectively. 相似文献

This study demonstrated AlGaN/GaN Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) for use in high-frequency, high-power, and high-temperature electronics applications. Four structures with various Fe doping concentrations in the buffer layers were investigated to suppress the leakage current and improve the breakdown voltage. The fabricated SBD with an Fe-doped AlGaN buffer layer of 8 × 1017 cm− 3 realized the highest on-resistance (RON) and turn-on voltage (VON) because of the memory effect of Fe diffusion. The optimal device was the SBD with an Fe-doped buffer layer of 7 × 1017 cm− 3, which exhibited a RON of 31.6 mΩ-cm2, a VON of 1.2 V, a breakdown voltage of 803 V, and a buffer breakdown voltage of 758 V. Additionally, the low-frequency noise decreased when the Fe doping concentration in the buffer layer was increased. This was because the electron density in the channel exhibited the same trend as that of the Fe doping concentration in the buffer layer. 相似文献

In order to evaluate current conduction mechanism in the Au/n-GaAs Schottky barrier diode (SBD) some electrical parameters such as the zero-bias barrier height (BH) Φbo(I–V) and ideality factor (n) were obtained from the forward bias current–voltage (I–V) characteristics in wide temperature range of 80–320 K by steps of 10 K. By using the thermionic emission (TE) theory, the Φbo(I–V) and n were found to depend strongly on temperature, and the n decreases with increasing temperature while the Φbo(I–V) increases. The values of Φbo and n ranged from 0.600 eV and 1.51(80 K) to 0.816 eV and 1.087 (320 K), respectively. Such behavior of Φbo and n is attributed to Schottky barrier inhomogeneities by assuming a Gaussian distribution (GD) of BHs at Au/n-GaAs interface. In the calculations, the electrical parameters of the experimental forward bias I–V characteristics of the Au/n-GaAs SBD with the homogeneity in the 80–320 K range have been explained by means of the TE, considering GD of BH with linear bias dependence. 相似文献

In this study, a gold/poly(3-hexylthiophene):[6,6]-phenyl C61 butyric acid methyl ester/n-type silicon (Au/P3HT:PCBM/n-Si) metal-polymer-semiconductor (MPS) Schottky barrier diode (SBD) was fabricated. To accomplish this, a spin-coating system and a thermal evaporation were used for preparation of a P3HT/PCBM layer system and for deposition of metal contacts, respectively. The forward- and reverse-bias current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of the MPS SBD at room temperature were studied to investigate its main electrical parameters such as ideality factor (n), barrier height (ΦB), series resistance (Rs), shunt resistance (Rsh), and density of interface states (Nss). The I–V characteristics have nonlinear behavior due to the effect of Rs, resulting in an n value (3.09) larger than unity. Additionally, it was found that n, ΦB, Rs, Rsh, and Nss have strong correlation with the applied bias. All results suggest that the P3HT/PCBM interfacial organic layer affects the Au/P3HT:PCBM/n-Si MPS SBD, and that Rs and Nss are the main electrical parameters that affect the Au/P3HT:PCBM/n-Si MPS SBD. Furthermore, a lower Nss compared with that of other types of MPS SBDs in the literature was achieved by using the P3HT/PCBM layer. This lowering shows that high-quality electronic and optoelectronic devices may be fabricated by using the Au/P3HT:PCBM/n-Si MPS SBD. 相似文献

Au Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) have been irradiated using high-energy carbon ion fluences of 1×1011, 1×1012 and 1×1013 cm−2. Current–voltage characteristics of unirradiated and irradiated diodes have been analyzed. The change in reverse leakage current increases with increasing ion fluence due to the irradiation-induced defects at the interface. The diodes were annealed at 523 and 623 K to study the effect of annealing. The rectifying behavior of the irradiated SBDs improves at 523 K. But at 623 K, the diode behavior deteriorates irrespective of the fluences. Better enhancement in the barrier height and also improvement in the ideality factor of the diodes has been observed at the annealing temperature of 523 K. Scanning Electron Microscopic analysis was carried out on the irradiated samples to delineate the projected range of the defects by high-energy carbon ion irradiation. 相似文献

Commercial bipolar junction transistor (2N 2219A, npn) irradiated with 150 MeV Cu11+-ions with fluence of the order 1012 ions cm?2, is studied for radiation induced gain degradation and deep level defects. I–V measurements are made to study the gain degradation as a function of ion fluence. The properties such as activation energy, trap concentration and capture cross-section of deep levels are studied by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Minority carrier trap levels with energies ranging from EC ? 0.164 eV to EC ? 0.695 eV are observed in the base–collector junction of the transistor. Majority carrier trap levels are also observed with energies ranging from EV + 0.203 eV to EV + 0.526 eV. The irradiated transistor is subjected to isothermal and isochronal annealing. The defects are seen to anneal above 350 °C. The defects generated in the base region of the transistor by displacement damage appear to be responsible for transistor gain degradation. 相似文献

The electrical analysis of Ni/n-GaP structure has been investigated by means of current–voltage (I–V), capacitance–voltage (C–V) and capacitance–frequency (C–f) measurements in the temperature range of 120–320 K in dark conditions. The forward bias I–V characteristics have been analyzed on the basis of standard thermionic emission (TE) theory and the characteristic parameters of the Schottky contacts (SCs) such as Schottky barrier height (SBH), ideality factor (n) and series resistance (Rs) have been determined from the I–V measurements. The experimental values of SBH and n for the device ranged from 1.01 eV and 1.27 (at 320 K) to 0.38 eV and 5.93 (at 120 K) for Ni/n-GaP diode, respectively. The interface states in the semiconductor bandgap and their relaxation time have been determined from the C–f characteristics. The interface state density Nss has ranged from 2.08 × 1015 (eV?1 m?2) at 120 K to 2.7 × 1015 (eV?1 m?2) at 320 K. Css has increased with increasing temperature. The relaxation time has ranged from 4.7 × 10?7 s at 120 K to 5.15 × 10?7 s at 320 K. 相似文献

Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) is low cost and constitutes non-toxic materials abundant in the earth crust. Environment friendly solar cell absorber layers were fabricated by a thermal co-evaporation technique. Elemental composition of the film was stated by energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS). Some optical and electrical properties such as absorption of light, absorption coefficient, optical band gap charge carrier density, sheet resistance and mobility were extracted. Optical band gap was found to be as 1.44 eV, besides, charge carrier density, resistivity and mobility were found as 2.14×1019 cm−3, 8.41×10−4 Ω cm and 3.45×102 cm2 V−1 s−1, respectively. In this study Ag/CZTS/n-Si Schottky diode was fabricated and basic diode parameters including barrier height, ideality factor, and series resistance were concluded using current–voltage and capacitance–voltage measurements. Barrier height and ideality factor values were found from the measurements as 0.81 eV and 4.76, respectively, for Ag/CZTS/n-Si contact. 相似文献

In the paper, SnOx thin films were deposited by reactive magnetron sputtering from a tin target in O2 containing working gas. The evolution from Sn-containing SnO to tetravalent SnO2 films was investigated. The films could be classified into three groups according to their optical band gaps, which are Eg<2.5 eV, Eg=3.0–3.3 eV and Eg>3.7 eV. The electric measurements show that high conductivity can be obtained much easier in SnO2 than in SnO films. A high electron mobility of 15.7 cm2 V−1 s−1, a carrier concentration of 1.43×1020 cm−3 and a resistivity of 2.8×10−3 Ω cm have been achieved in amorphous SnO2 films. Films with the optical band gap of 3.0–3.3 eV remain amorphous though the substrate temperature is as high as 300 °C, which implies that °btaining high mobility in p-type SnO is more challenging in contrast to n-type SnO2 films. 相似文献

Bilayered organic field-effect transistors were fabricated by successive vapor-depositions of 1,4-bis{5-[4-(trifluoromethyl)phenyl]thiophene-2-yl}benzene (AC5-CF3) and 5,5″-bis(4-biphenylyl)-2,2′:5′,2″-terthiophene (BP3T). With decreasing thickness of the n-type AC5-CF3 film in contact with the dielectric layer, ambipolar characteristics were improved under both positive and negative gate biases. Two types of asymmetric source/drain electrodes were prepared by either obliquely shadowed lamination or mask-shifted depositions of AlLi and Au. The latter method in which the device was characterized without exposure to air after the electrode deposition of AlLi resulted in remarkable improvement of ambipolarity and reduction of leak currents. Finally, optimized ambipolar mobilities of μe = 5.00 × 10?2 and μh = 1.56 × 10?2 cm2 V?1 s?1) were obtained with 5-nm-thick AC5-CF3 and 30-nm-thick BP3T. 相似文献

We probe electron transport across the Au/organic interface based on oriented thin films of the high-performance n-type perylene diimide semiconductor PDI8-CN2. To this purpose, we prepared organic-on-inorganic Schottky diodes, with Au directly evaporated onto PDI8-CN2 grown on n-Si. Temperature-dependent current–voltage characteristics and complementary ballistic electron emission microscopy studies reveal that rectification at the Au/PDI8-CN2 interface is controlled by a spatially inhomogeneous injection barrier, that varies on a length scale of tens of nanometers according to a Gaussian distribution with mean value ∼0.94 eV and standard deviation ∼100 meV. The former gradually shifts to ∼1.04 eV on increasing PDI8-CN2 thickness from 5 nm to 50 nm. Experimental evidences and general arguments further allow to establish the energetics at the Au/PDI8-CN2 interface. Our work indicates injection-limited current flow in PDI8-CN2-based devices with evaporated Au electrodes. Furthermore, it suggests chemical reactivity of PDI8-CN2 with both Au and Si, driven by the lateral isocyano groups. 相似文献

All RF sputtering-deposited Pt/SiO2/n-type indium gallium nitride (n-InGaN) metal–oxide–semiconductor (MOS) diodes were investigated before and after annealing at 400 °C. By scanning electron microscopy (SEM), the thickness of Pt, SiO2, n-InGaN layer was measured to be ~250, 70, and 800 nm, respectively. AFM results also show that the grains become a little bigger after annealing, the surface topography of the as-deposited film was smoother with the rms roughness of 1.67 nm and had the slight increase of 1.92 nm for annealed sample. Electrical properties of MOS diodes have been determined by using the current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements. The results showed that Schottky barrier height (SBH) increased slightly to 0.69 eV (I–V) and 0.82 eV (C–V) after annealing at 400 °C for 15 min in N2 ambient, compared to that of 0.67 eV (I–V) and 0.79 eV (C–V) for the as-deposited sample. There was the considerable improvement in the leakage current, dropped from 6.5×10−7 A for the as-deposited to 1.4×10−7 A for the 400 °C-annealed one. The annealed MOS Schottky diode had shown the higher SBH, lower leakage current, smaller ideality factor (n), and denser microstructure. In addition to the SBH, n, and series resistance (Rs) determined by Cheungs׳ and Norde methods, other parameters for MOS diodes tested at room temperature were also calculated by C–V measurement. 相似文献
