The electrical characteristics of Cr / p – Si (100) Schottky barrier diodes have been measured in the temperature range of 100–300 K. The I-V analysis based on thermionic emission (TE) theory has revealed an abnormal decrease of apparent barrier height and increase of ideality factor at low temperature. The conventional Richardson plot exhibits non-linearity below 200 K with the linear portion corresponding to activation energy 0.304 eV and Richardson constant (A*) value of 5.41×10-3 Acm-2 K -2 is determined from the intercept at the ordinate of this experimental plot, which is much lower than the known value of 32 Acm-2 K -2 for p-type Si . It is demonstrated that these anomalies result due to the barrier height inhomogeneities prevailing at the metal-semiconductor interface. Hence, it has been concluded that the temperature dependence of the I-V characteristics of the Cr/p – Si Schottky barrier diode can be successfully explained on the basis of TE mechanism with a Gaussian distribution of the barrier heights. Furthermore, the value of the Richardson constant found is much closer than that obtained without considering the inhomogeneous barrier heights.

Mis Structures

We have fabricated Ni/[Formula: see text]-Si metal–semiconductor (MS) and Ni/Ta2O5/[Formula: see text]-Si metal-insulator–semiconductor (MIS) Schottky barrier diodes at room temperature and studied their current density–voltage (J–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristic properties. The forward bias J–V characteristics of the fabricated MS and MIS devices have been evaluated with the help of the thermionic emission (TE) mechanism. Schottky barrier height (SBH) values of 0.73 and 0.84[Formula: see text]eV and ideality factor values of 1.75 and 1.46 are extracted using J–V measurements for MS and MIS Schottky barrier diodes without and with Ta2O5 interfacial oxide layer, respectively. It was noted that the incorporation of Ta2O5 interfacial oxide layer enhanced the value of SBH for the MIS device because this oxide layer produced the substantial barrier between Ni and [Formula: see text]-Si and this obtained barrier height value is better than the conventional metal/[Formula: see text]-Si (MS) Schottky diodes. The rectification ratio (RR) calculated at [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]V for the MS structure is found to be [Formula: see text] and the MIS structure is found to be [Formula: see text]. Using Chung’s method, the series resistance ([Formula: see text]) values are calculated using [Formula: see text]/[Formula: see text] vs I plot and are found to be 21,603[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] for the Ni/[Formula: see text]-Si (MS) and 5489[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] for the Ni/Ta2O5/[Formula: see text]-Si (MIS) structures, respectively. In addition, [Formula: see text] vs [Formula: see text] plot has been utilized to evaluate the series resistance ([Formula: see text]) values and are found to be 14,064[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] for the Ni/[Formula: see text]-Si (MS) and 2236[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] for the Ni/Ta2O5/[Formula: see text]-Si (MIS) structures, respectively. In conclusion, by analyzing the experimental results, it is confirmed that the good quality performance is observed in Ni/Ta2O5/[Formula: see text]-Si (MIS) type SBD when compared to Ni/[Formula: see text]-Si (MS) type SBD and can be accredited to the intentionally formed thin Ta2O5 interfacial oxide layer between Nickel and [Formula: see text]-type Si.

We have studied the forward current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of Ti–Au /n-type GaAs Schottky barrier diodes. However, we found some anomalies in I–V characteristics. Hence, we have considered a model that incorporates thermionic emission, thermionic-field emission and leakage components. Leakage component is linear and visible at rather small currents. The anomalies observed in the diode parameters were effectively construed in terms of the contribution of these multiple charge transport mechanisms across the interface of the diodes. It is shown that thermionic-field emission and leakage are the sources of low-frequency (1/f) noise in such type of diodes. Various Schottky diode parameters were also extracted from the I–V characteristics and current dependence of spectrum of 1/f voltage noise.
