The temperature dependent characteristics on the properties of SiC Schottky Diode has been investigated. In this study, the temperature dependent current-voltage characteristics of the SiC Schottky diode were measured in the range of 300 ~ 500 K. Divided into pre- and post- irradiated device was measured. The barrier height after irradiation device at 500 K increased 0.15 eV compared to 300 K, the barrier height of pre- neutron irradiated Schottky diode increased 0.07 eV. The effective barrier height after irradiation increased from 0.89 eV to 1.05 eV. And ideality factor of neutron irradiated Schottky diode at 500 K decreased 0.428 compared to 300 K, the ideality factor of pre- neutron irradiated Schottky diode decreased 0.354. Also, a slight positive shift in threshold voltage from 0.53 to 0.68 V. we analyzed the effective barrier height and ideality factor of SiC Schottky diode as function of temperature.

Interface-trap density, lifetime and Schottky barrier height of erbium-silicided Schottky diode are evaluated using equivalent circuit method. The extracted interface trap density, lifetime and Schottky barrier height for hole are determined as $1.5{\times}10^{13} traps/cm^2$, 3.75 ms and 0.76 eV, respectively. The interface traps are efficiently cured by $N_2$ annealing. Based on the diode characteristics, various sizes of erbium- silicided/platinum-silicided n/p-type Schottky barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (SB-MOSFETs) are manufactured from 20 m to 35nm. The manufactured SB-MOSFETs show excellent drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL) characteristics due to the existence of Schottky barrier between source and channel. DIBL and subthreshold swing characteristics are compatible with the ultimate scaling limit of double gate MOSFETs which shows the possible application of SB-MOSFETs in nanoscale regime.

In this report, we firstly have investigated the electrical characteristics of silicon carbide (SiC) schottky barrier diode and compared the characteristics to those of conventional Si diode through simulation and experiment. Secondly we have investigated the influence of two kinds of diodes to the power conversion circuit of the systems. From the investigation results it is verified that SiC schottky barrier diode is more superior to Si diode in thermal and reverse recovery, characteristics, which are the important factors in the size reduction and higher reliability of the systems. Finally though the experiment applied to PFC(Power Factor Correction) circuits, we precisely verified excellency to thermal characteristic of SiC schottky barrier diode any other diode.

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of a Au/Ni/Ti/3C-SiC Schottky diode with field plate (FP) edge termination. The Schottky contacts were annealed for 30 min at temperatures ranging from 0 to $800^{\circ}C$. At annealing temperature of $600^{\circ}C$, it showed an inhomogeneous Schottky barrier and had the best electrical characteristics. However, the annealing of $800^{\circ}C$ replaced it with ohmic behaviors because of the formation of many different types of nickel silicides. The fabricated Schottky diode had a breakdown voltage of 200 V, Schottky barrier height of 1.19 eV and worked normally even at $200^{\circ}C$.

Schottky contacts on n-In$\_$0.53//Ga$\_$0.47//As have been made by metal deposition on substrates cooled to a temperature of 77K. The current-voltage and capacitance-voltage characteristics showed that the Schottky diodes formed at low temperature had a much improved barrier height compared to those formed at room temperature. The Schottky barrier height ø$\_$B/ was found to be increased from 0.2eV to 0.6eV with Ag metal. The saturation current density of the low temperature diode was about 4 orders smaller than for the room temperature diode. A current transport mechanism dominated by thermionic emission over the barrier for the low temperature diode was found from current-voltage-temperature measurement. Deep level transient spectroscopy studies exhibited a bulk electron trap at E$\_$c/-0.23eV. The low temperature process appears to reduce metal induced surface damage and may form an MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor)-like structure at the interface.

본 논문에서 유한차분법을 이용하여 Pt-GaAs Schottky Barrier Diode(SBD)를 일차원으로 simulation하였다. 반도체의 지배방정식인 포아송 방정식(poisson equation)과 전류연속 방정식)current continuity equation)을 이산화 시킨 다음 Newton-Raphson 방법으로 선형화시켜서 가우스 소거법으로 해가 수렴할 때까지 반복적으로 풀었다. 이 SBD의 해석에 필요한 경계조건은 열전자방출-확산이론(thermionic emission-diffusion theory)으로부터 Schottky Barrier의 경계조건을 취하였다. 에피층을 갖는 SBD를 모델링하여 인가전압에 따른 다이오드에서의 전위와 전자의 분포를 simulation 하였다. 전위에 따라 변하는 접속층을 고려하여 실험치와 잘 일치하는 결과를 얻었다.

We have investigated electrical properties of graphene/Ge Schottky barrier diode (SBD) fabricated on Ge film epitaxially grown on Si substrate. When decreasing temperature, barrier height decreased and ideality factor increased, implying their strong temperature dependency. From the conventional Richardson plot, Richardson constant was much less than the theoretical value for n-type Ge. Assuming Gaussian distribution of Schottky barrier height with mean Schottky barrier height and standard deviation, Richardson constant extracted from the modified Richardson plot was comparable to the theoretical value for n-type Ge. Thus, the abnormal temperature dependent Schottky behavior of graphene/Ge SBD could be associated with a considerable deviation from the ideal thermionic emission caused by Schottky barrier inhomogeneities.

High temperature silicon carbide Schottky diode was fabricated with Au deposited on poly 3C-SiC thin film grown on p-type Si(100) using atmospheric pressure chemical vapor deposition. The charge transport mechanism of the diode was studied in the temperature range of 300 K to 550 K. The forward and reverse bias currents of the diode increase strongly with temperature and diode shows a non-ideal behavior due to the series resistance and the interface states associated with 3C-SiC. The charge transport mechanism is a temperature activated process, in which, the electrons passes over of the low barriers and in turn, diode has a large ideality factor. The charge transport mechanism of the diode was analyzed by a Gaussian distribution of the Schottky barrier heights due to the Schottky barrier inhomogeneities at the metal-semiconductor interface and the mean barrier height and zero-bias standard deviation values for the diode was found to be 1.82 eV and $s_0$=0.233 V, respectively. The interface state density of the diode was determined using conductance-frequency and it was of order of $9.18{\times}10^{10}eV^{-1}cm^{-2}$.
