Abstract:
The current through a metal-semiconductor junction is mainly due to the majority carriers.Three distinctly different mechanisms exist in a Schottky diode:diffusion of the semiconductor carriers in metal,thermionic emission-diffusion(TED) of carriers through a Schottky gate,and a mechanical quantum that pierces a tunnel through the gate.The system was solved by using a coupled Poisson-Boltzmann algorithm.Schottky BH is defined as the difference in energy between the Fermi level and the metal band carrier maj...
