This paper presents the fabrication procedure of TiO2 passivated field plate Schottky diode and gives a comparison of Ni/Au/n-GaN Schottky barrier diodes without field plate and with field plate of varying diameters from 50 to 300 µm. The influence of field oxide (TiO2) on the leakage current of Ni/Au/n-GaN Schottky diode was investigated. This suggests that the TiO2 passivated structure reduces the reverse leakage current of Ni/Au/n-GaN Schottky diode. Also, the reverse leakage current of Ni/Au/n-GaN Schottky diodes decreases as the field plate length increases. The temperature-dependent electrical characteristics of TiO2 passivated field plate Ni/Au/n-GaN Schottky diodes have shown an increase of barrier height within the temperature range 300…475 K.

Initial Results

Optimum n-drift region of a 4H-SiC Junction Barrier Schottky Diode (JBS) was analyzed by simulation with consideration of the anisotropic impact ionization. According to the detailed simulations using SRIM and Sentaurus, model parameters of empirical equations were obtained through fitting, which showed that the anisotropic avalanche model (2D-ANISO) differs significantly from the 1-dimensional empirical model (1D-Cooper) and the old isotropic avalanche model (2D-ISO). These initial results suggested that the JFET resistance and anisotropic impact ionization should be taken into account during the optimization of a 4H-SiC JBS in which field crowding at the corner of p-grid causes higher reverse leakage current.

We focus on the epi layer carrier concentration variation effects to improve the current – voltage (I-V) characteristics of an n-GaN schottky diode. The carrier concentration of 1×10 15cm-3, 1×1016 cm−3, 1×1017 cm−3 were employed. The simulated current was obtained by forward biasing the device of up to 2Volt at room temperature using Pt electrode. The study was conducted by using Atlas/Blaze using various models such as Consrh (Concentration Dependent Shockley Read Hall), Cvt (Lombardi Model), Fermi (Fermi Dirac), Bgn (Bandgap Narrowing), Conmob (Concentration Dependent Mobility), Auger (Auger). We found that as the concentration increases the value of forward current also increase linearly when biased at maximum of 2 volts. The reverse bias characteristics at the same concentration of the simulated diode up to 100Volt were also determined. We found that at low carrier concentration the reverse leakage current is minimum and breakdown voltage is maximum. As the carrier concentration increases there is a linear relationship between reverse leakage current and epi layer doping carrier concentration. By analyzing the forward and reverse characteristics we conclude that in forward bias for low carrier concentration the diode shows schottky rectifying behavior while for higher carrier concentration the diode shows ohmic behavior. For higher carrier concentration there is a linear relationship between carrier concentration (n) and forward current. The reverse leakage current is minimum approaching an ideal value at n≤1×1015cm-3 and breakdown voltage is maximum at these values of concentration. Increasing the concentration from n≤1×1015cm-3 the value of reverse leakage current is approaching to the maximum value as a result breakdown voltage decreases. We conclude that for n-GaN schottky diode the ideal schottky rectifying behavior of I-V characteristics is obtained at carrier concentration of n≤ 1×1015cm-3 for the simulated diodes at different carrier concentration.

AbstractThe feasibility of Si-implanted TiN as a diffusion barrier between Cu and Si was investigated. Barrier effectiveness was evaluated via reverse leakage current of Cu/TixSiyNz/Si diodes as a function of post-deposition annealing temperature and time, and was found to depend heavily on the film composition and microstructure. TiN implanted with Si28, l0keV, 5xl016ions/cm2 formed an amorphous ternary TixSiyNz layer whose performance as a barrier to Cu diffusion exceeded that of unimplanted, polycrystalline TiN. Results from current-voltage, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and Auger depth profiling measurements will be presented. The relationship between Si-implantation dose, TixSiyNz structure and reverse leakage current of Cu/TixSiyNz/Si diodes will be discussed, along with implications as to the suitability of these structures in Cu metallization.

The effect of soft X-ray irradiation to the Schottky diode properties was analyzed in this paper. The built-in voltage, leakage current, and work function of Schottky diode were investigated. The current-voltage characteristics of the Schottky diode are measured at room temperature. After irradiation at 70 keV for 55 seconds the forward current and leakage current are increase slightly. On the other hand, the built-in voltage is decrease from the initial value about 0.12 V. Consequently, this method can cause the Schottky diode has low power consumption. The results show that soft X-ray can improve the characteristics of Schottky diode.
