ABSTRACTA new approach for extending the range of the Schottky barrier height ϕB of metal contacts to (100) GaAs is described. Very thin (∼ 10-30Å) heavily n-type and p-type Si or Ge interlayers are found to directly alter the GaAi interface Fermi energy EF. X-ray photoemission spectroscopy is used to determine EF during contact formation and the corresponding ϕB for thick contacts is measured by electrical methods. In an appropriate structure the ϕB range for contacts to n-type GaAs is ∼ 0.25 to 1.0 eV. For p-type GaAs ϕB has been increased to as much as 0.9 eV. This method of ϕBcontrol can be used for both Schottky barrier contact and nonalloyed ohmic contact applications. The results are interpreted in terms of a simple heterojunction model.

AbstractTwo-dimensional MoS2 has emerged as promising material for nanoelectronics and spintronics due to its exotic properties. However, high contact resistance at metal semiconductor MoS2 interface still remains an open issue. Here, we report electronic properties of field effect transistor devices using monolayer MoS2 channels and permalloy (Py) as ferromagnetic (FM) metal contacts. Monolayer MoS2 channels were directly grown on SiO2/Si substrate via chemical vapor deposition technique. The increase in current with back gate voltage (Vg) shows the tunability of FET characteristics. The Schottky barrier height (SBH) estimated for Py/MoS2 contacts is found to be +28.8 meV (at Vg = 0V), which is the smallest value reported so-far for any direct metal (magnetic or non-magnetic)/monolayer MoS2 contact. With the application of positive gate voltage, SBH shows a reduction, which reveals ohmic behavior of Py/MoS2 contacts. Low SBH with controlled ohmic nature of FM contacts is a primary requirement for MoS2 based spintronics and therefore using directly grown MoS2 channels in the present study can pave a path towards high performance devices for large scale applications.

The Schottky barrier height (SBH) of Al, Ti, Au, and Ni contacts to n- and p-type 3C-SiC is investigated by means of I-V and C-V measurements. All metal contacts to n- (net donor concentration: 1.0 x 1016 /cm3) and p-type (net acceptor concentration: 4 x 1016 /cm3) 3C-SiC show the rectifying I-V characteristics except for Al contact to n-type 3C-SiC. Only Al contact to n-type 3C-SiC shows the ohmic characteristics. As the work function of metal is increased from 4.3 (Ti) to 5.2 (Ni) eV, SBH for n-type 3C-SiC is increased from 0.4 to 0.7 eV and SBH for p-type 3C-SiC is decreased from 2.2 to 1.8 eV. The small change of SBH for 3C-SiC may be correlated to the crystal orientation and the defects on the surface of 3C-SiC.

ABSTRACTThe Schottky barrier heights of Ni(GaxAl1−x)/n-GaAs contacts have been measured by the I-V and C-V techniques. Contacts with x = 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1.0 have been prepared, and a wide range of Schottky barrier heights, 0.66 to 0.96 eV, can be achieved by varying the composition of the alloy contacts. After annealing at 400 °C, the barrier heights increase continuously from 0.66 to 0.96 eV as x decreases. The interfacial stability between the Ni(Ga,Al) contacts and GaAs has been examined by SAM. The modulation of the Schottky barrier height and the interface stability are explained by a thermodynamic and kinetic analysis of the GaAs-NiGa-NiAl-AlAs system.
