Influence of Ion Beam Etching on Silicon Schottky Barriers

실리콘 숏키장벽의 이온선 에칭의 영향

Ion beam etching of silicon with N2 and Ar gas has been found to cause the band edge to bend downward near the surface in p-type silicon. Rectifying, rather than ohmic contacts are obtained on the structures formed by evaporation of gold and titanium onto ion-bean-etched p-type silicon. The 1/C2 versus V relationship measured at 1MHz is found to be nonlinear for small voltages indicating alteration of the effective doping colse to the silicon surface.
