Epitaxial Interface

There has recently been considerable interest in the reaction between Co and a clean Si surface. This interest stems from the epitaxy of CoSi2 and NiSi2 on Si and its potential for the construction of reliable and stable metal-semiconductor structures. In fact, the fabrication of a Si/CoSi2/Si transistor has been recently reported.[l] On a more fundamental side, it has been possible to address the problem of the relation between Schottky barrier height and structure at the NiSi2/Ni interface, which exhibits both a rotated (B-type) and unrotated (A-type) geometry.[2] For CoSi2/Si only the 180° rotated, B-type disilicide is formed. By studying the room temperature interface, we have attempted to describe the nature and physical extent of reaction products; such knowledge is important to understand the formation of interface silicides which ultimately control the nature of the high temperature epitaxial interface.

High Temperature Operation

High-temperature operation of semiconductor devices is widely demanded for switching/sensing purposes in automobiles, plants, and aerospace applications. As alternatives to conventional Si-based Schottky diodes usable only at 200°C or less, Schottky interfaces based on wide-bandgap semiconductors have been extensively studied to realize a large Schottky barrier height that makes high-temperature operation possible. Here, we report a unique crystalline Schottky interface composed of a wide-gap semiconductor β-Ga2O3 and a layered metal PdCoO2. At the thermally stable all-oxide interface, the polar layered structure of PdCoO2 generates electric dipoles, realizing a large Schottky barrier height of ~1.8 eV, well beyond the 0.7 eV expected from the basal Schottky-Mott relation. Because of the naturally formed homogeneous electric dipoles, this junction achieved current rectification with a large on/off ratio approaching 108 even at a high temperature of 350°C. The exceptional performance of the PdCoO2/β-Ga2O3 Schottky diodes makes power/sensing devices possible for extreme environments.

Ohmic Contact Formation

ABSTRACTWe have investigated surface treatment effect on the interfacial reaction of Pd/p-GaN interface and also room temperature ohmic contact formation mechanism of Pd-based ohmic contact. In order to examine room temperature ohmic behavior, various metal contact systems were deposited and current-voltage measurements were carried out. In spite of large theoretical Schottky barrier height between Pd and p-GaN, Pd-based contact showed perfect ohmic characteristic even before annealing. According to the results of synchrotron X-ray radiation, the closed-packed atomic planes (111) of the Pd film were quite well ordered in surface normal direction as well as in the in-plane direction. The effective Schottky barrier height of Au/Pd/Mg/Pd/p-GaN was 0.47eV, which was estimated by Norde method. This discrepancy between theoretical barrier height and the measured one might be due to the epitaxial growth of Pd contact metal and so the room-temperature ohmic characteristic of Pd-based ohmic contact was related strongly to the in-plane epitaxial quality of metal on p-GaN.

Au/n-GaAs Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) have been fabricated. The effect of indentation on Schottky diode parameters such as Schottky barrier height (φb) and ideality factor (n) was studied by current-voltage (I-V) measurements. The method used for indentation was the Vickers microhardness test at room temperature. The experimental results showed that the I-V characteristics move to lower currents due to an increase of φb with increasing indentation weight, while contacts showed a nonideal diode behaviour.

Graphene’s superior electronic and thermal properties have gained extensive attention from research and industrial sectors to study and develop the material for various applications such as in sensors and diodes. In this paper, the characteristics and performance of carbon-based nanostructure applied on a Trench Metal Oxide Semiconductor MOS barrier Schottky (TMBS) diode were investigated for high temperature application. The structure used for this study was silicon substrate with a trench and filled trench with gate oxide and polysilicon gate. A graphene nanowall (GNW) or carbon nanowall (CNW), as a barrier layer, was grown using the plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method. The TMBS device was then tested to determine the leakage current at 60 V under various temperature settings and compared against a conventional metal-based TMBS device using TiSi2 as a Schottky barrier layer. Current-voltage (I-V) measurement data were analyzed to obtain the Schottky barrier height, ideality factor, and series resistance (Rs) values. From I-V measurement, leakage current measured at 60 V and at 423 K of the GNW-TMBS and TiSi2-TMBS diodes were 0.0685 mA and above 10 mA, respectively, indicating that the GNW-TMBS diode has high operating temperature advantages. The Schottky barrier height, ideality factor, and series resistance based on dV/dln(J) vs. J for the GNW were calculated to be 0.703 eV, 1.64, and 35 ohm respectively.

Schottky barrier height (SBH) has been characterized on 4H-SiC Schottky diodes with metal contact of Ti/W by Current-Voltage (I-V) and Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) measurements between 80 K and 400 K. Multi-barrier has been recognized and calculated according to different models. No clear difference has been found between single barrier diode and diode with multi-barrier from DLTS tests. Evolution on the I-V characteristics has been observed after high temperature annealing. The effect of annealing at room temperature (RT) and high temperature DLTS scan (stress under high temperature) have also been studied on both static characteristics and DLTS results.

Height Change

The binding energy of the bulk Si 2p levels observed with soft X-ray photoemission can be used to monitor the band bending in the silicon space charge region when a metal is deposited onto the silicon surface. Changes in the 2p binding energy with metal coverage can then be used to determine the change in the Schottky barrier height as the metal-silicon contact is formed. By tuning the photon energy and therefore the photoemitted electron escape depth, chemical shifts (atomic environment effects) at the interface can be separated from the bulk band bending effects. When combined with annealing to produce in-depth atomic intermixing, the result may reveal information on the distribution of metal atoms at the interface and its effect on the barrier height.Measurements of the Schottky barrier height change as a function of palladium deposition were made on (2 × 1) p-type and (7 × 7) n-type Si(111) surfaces by monitoring Si 2p core level shifts in a bulk sensitive mode. The barrier height change reached 1/e of its final value at a palladium coverage of 2.9 Å. Several experiments have made it possible to relate the measured Si 2p core level monitor of band bending to absolute Schottky barrier heights in a fully consistent fashion. Therefore, these results provide a means to measure the barrier height in the initial stages of Schottky barrier formation (i.e. at low metal coverage) and to compare these observations with the chemical behavior of the interface at low coverage and with electrical measurements on bulk contacts. Since the Pd/Si Schottky barrier height is established at the bulk value within a coverage of 3–5 Å (even before the overlayer is metallic), the role of interface chemical bonds in determining the barrier height is paramount.This work was supported in part by the U.S. Office of Naval Research.
