چکیده

Graphene (Gr) interfaced with a semiconductor forms a Schottky junction with rectifying properties, however, fluctuations in the Schottky barrier height are often observed. In this work, Schottky junctions are fabricated by transferring chemical vapor deposited monolayer Gr onto n-type Si and GaAs substrates. Temperature dependence of the barrier height and ideality factor are obtained by current-voltage measurements between 215 and 350 K. An increase in the zero bias barrier height and decrease in the ideality factor are observed with increasing temperature for both junctions. Such behavior is attributed to barrier inhomogeneities that arise from interfacial disorders as revealed by scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy. Assuming a Gaussian distribution of the barrier heights, mean values of 1.14 ± 0.14 eV and 0.76 ± 0.10 eV are found for Gr/Si and Gr/GaAs junctions, respectively. These findings resolve the origin of barrier height inhomogeneities in these Schottky junctions.

Interface states and Schottky barrier formation at metal/GaAs junctions

We report results of x-ray photoemission and cathodoluminescence spectroscopies studies of interface formation at metal-GaAs junctions. The results are interpreted by using a microscopic model of metal-semiconductor interfaces. Our low-temperature measurements and analyses show the validity of Schottky'S phenomenological description, thereby suggesting that metalinduced gap states and native de...

Pressure Dependence of the Barrier Height in Tunnel n-GaAs/Au Junctions

The theory of tunnel current-voltage (I-V ) characteristics of metal-semiconductor junctions based on the self-consistent solution of Poisson equation allows to get the Schottky-barrier height and the charged impurity concentration directly from the tunneling data. This approach was applied to the analysis of the low temperature experiments on tunneling under pressure up to 3GPa in a piston-cyl...
