Contact Resistance in Schottky Contact Gated-Four-Probe a-Si Thin-Film Transistor
نویسندگان
چکیده
The source and drain electrode contact resistance of the hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H) thin-film transistor (TFT) with a Schottky-barrier source/drain contact was measured using a gated-four-probe TFT structure. Typically its variation with the gate bias is considered to be independent of the gate bias but we observed that contact resistances decrease exponentially with increasing gate bias. Our experimental data are explained by a combination of the tunneling current through the Schottky barrier and the access source/drain contact TFT resistance. [DOI: 10.1143/JJAP.42.L907]

Investigation of post-annealing effect on efficient ohmic contact to ZnO thin film using Ti/Al metallization strategy
Ohmic and Schottky contacts are playing a major role in the field of ZnO based electronics device fabrication. It is seen that several works have been reported on metallization scheme, contacts with this semiconducting material. But, the thickness of semiconducting material and the choosing of substrate still remain imperfect and inefficient for advanced IC technology. To estimate contact resis...

Cu-Mo and Cu-Ti contact structures were fabricated on multi-crystalline silicon substrates to provide a low resistance ohmic contact. Deposition steps are done in an excellent vacuum chamber by means of electron beam evaporation and samples are then annealed for the realization of an efficient alloy layer. The effects of process parameters such as film thickness, annealing duration and temp...
