Schottky Barrier Height Analysis of Diamond SPIND Using High Temperature Operation up to 873 K

Development of Diamond Schottky Barrier Diode

Diamond, which has excellent physical properties, is attractive for use in industrial applications. Because diamond is rated the highest for hardness and heat conductivity among all known materials, it is widely used for products such as abrasive grains, cutting tools, and heatsinks. Diamond also exhibits excellent transparency even in the ultraviolet range and can be applied to optical tools. ...

Temperature-dependent Schottky barrier in high-performance organic solar cells

Organic solar cells (OSCs) have attracted great attention in the past 30 years, and the power conversion efficiency (PCE) now reaches around 10%, largely owning to the rapid material developments. Meanwhile with the progress in the device performance, more and more interests are turning to understanding the fundamental physics inside the OSCs. In the conventional bulk-heterojunction architectur...

Defect Analysis of Barrier Height Inhomogeneity in Titanium 4H-SiC Schottky Barrier Diodes

Schottky Barrier Height Tuning via the Dopant Segregation Technique through Low-Temperature Microwave Annealing

The Schottky junction source/drain structure has great potential to replace the traditional p/n junction source/drain structure of the future ultra-scaled metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs), as it can form ultimately shallow junctions. However, the effective Schottky barrier height (SBH) of the Schottky junction needs to be tuned to be lower than 100 meV in order to ob...

AlGaN/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...
