X-ray photoemission determination of the Schottky barrier height of metal contacts to n–GaN and p–GaN
Synchrotron radiation-based x-ray photoemission spectroscopy was used to study the surface Fermi level position within the band gap for thin metal overlayers of Au, Al, Ni, Ti, Pt, and Pd on n–GaN and p–GaN. Nonequilibrium effects were taken into account by measuring the Fermi edge of the metal overlayer. There are two different behaviors observed for the six metals studied. For Au, Ti, and Pt,...
متن کاملMetal induced gap states and Schottky barrier heights at non–reactive GaN/noble metal interfaces
We present ab-initio local density FLAPW calculations on non–reactive N– terminated [001] ordered GaN/Ag and GaN/Au interfaces and compare the results (such as metal induced gap states and Schottky barrier heights) with those obtained for GaN/Al, in order to understand the dependence of the relevant electronic properties on the deposited metal. Our results show that the density of gap states is...
متن کاملAlGaN/GaN Schottky Barrier Diodes Employing Diamond-like Carbon passivation
AlGaN/GaN Schottky Barrier Diodes (SBDs) employing the Diamond-like Carbon (DLC) passivation was proposed. The reverse blocking characteristics of the AlGaN/GaN SBD is degraded by the electron trapping effect through the surface trap states. In order to suppress the electron trapping effect and increase the breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN SBDs, the surface passivation or treatment should be perf...
متن کاملHydrogen sensors based on Pt-AlGaN/AlN/GaN schottky diode
Pt/AlGaN/AlN/GaN Schottky diodes have been fabricated and characterized for H2 sensing. Platinum (Pt) with a thickness of 20nm was evaporated on the sample to form the Schottky contact. The ohmic contact, formed by evaporated Ti/Al/Ni/Au metals, was subsequently annealed by a rapid thermal treatment at 860°C for 30 s in N2 ambience. Both the forward and reverse current of the device increased g...
متن کاملEffects of barrier height distribution on the behavior of a Schottky diode
The current–voltage characteristics of a Schottky diode are simulated numerically using the thermionic emission-diffusion mechanism and considering a Gaussian distribution of barrier heights, with a linear bias dependence of both the mean and standard deviation. The resulting data are analyzed to get insight into the effects of distribution parameters on the barrier height, activation energy pl...
