ABSTRACTSelected interface phenomena associated with metal semiconductor contacts are discussed in relation to recent experimental and theoretical work on the electronic properties, interface formation and structure, and device characteristics of nickel-silicon interfaces. Evidence is presented which suggests that a well-defined interfacial phase is present at all nickel silicide-silicon boundaries formed by deposition of nickel atoms onto silicon surfaces. The existence of this phase is shown to account for several important interface properties of the nickel silicide system including selective growth, the rotational twin structure of epitaxial films and the observed invariance of the nickel silicide-silicon Schottky barrier height as the silicide contact stoichiometry is varied.

Zinc oxide nanoparticles (ZnO NP) used for the channel region in inverted coplanar setup in Thin Film Transistors (TFT) were the focus of this study. The regions between the source electrode and the ZnO NP and the drain electrode were under investigation as they produce a Schottky barrier in metal-semiconductor interfaces. A more general Thermionic emission theory must be evaluated: one that considers both metal/semiconductor interfaces (MSM structures). Aluminum, gold, and nickel were used as metallization layers for source and drain electrodes. An organic-inorganic nanocomposite was used as a gate dielectric. The TFTs transfer and output characteristics curves were extracted, and a numerical computational program was used for fitting the data; hence information about Schottky Barrier Height (SBH) and ideality factors for each TFT could be estimated. The nickel metallization appears with the lowest SBH among the metals investigated. For this metal and for higher drain-to-source voltages, the SBH tended to converge to some value around 0.3 eV. The developed fitting method showed good fitting accuracy even when the metallization produced different SBH in each metal-semiconductor interface, as was the case for gold metallization. The Schottky effect is also present and was studied when the drain-to-source voltages and/or the gate voltage were increased.

AbstractSchottky barrier height (ÖB) engineering of NiGe/n-Ge(001) diodes was achieved through germanidation induced dopant segregation on As implanted-Ge substrates. was reduced from 0.55 eV to 0.16 eV with increasing As dose on n-Ge(001) while on p-Ge(001), the diodes exhibited increasing ÖB.
