Using current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements, the electrical properties of Au and Cu Schottky contacts to n-Ge were comparatively investigated. Lower values of barrier height, ideality factor and series resistance were obtained for the Au contact as compared to the Cu contact. The values of capacitance showed strong dependence on the bias voltage and the frequency. The presence of an inversion layer at the interface might reduce the intercept voltage at the voltage axis, lowering the barrier height for C-V measurements, especially at lower frequencies. In addition, a higher interface state density was observed for the Au contact. The generation of sputter deposition-induced defects might occur more severely for the Au contact; these defects affected both the I-V and C-V characteristics.

A shallow n+ layer of implanted phosphorus was used to lower the barrier height of PtSinSi schottky diodes. The reduction of barrier height of the forward turn-on voltages from 400mV to 180mV of the forward was followed by implantation of phosphorus at 35KeV with an ion dose of 8.0x10**12 atoms/cm\ulcornerand was activated at 925\ulcorner for 30min in dry O2. The test result showed that, as the ion-implanted dose increased, the forward turn-on voltage and reverse breakdown voltage were linearly decreased, but the saturation current and ideality factor(n) were linearly increased.

We fabricate Schottky diodes with the contact between a sol-gel derived ZnO layer and Au that guarantees the expected Schottky contact due to the high work function. The formed single metal Schottky barrier shows characteristics comparable to the barrier formed by alloys. Au is deposited by thermal evaporation on a ZnO thin film that is optimally formed under sol-gel process conditions of a 1-mol zinc acetate concentration and a 3000-rpm coating speed. Possible defects. which can provide deleterious current paths. are minimized by patterning the deposited Au. The I-V curve verifies the formation of a Schottky contact. Measurements showed that the Schottky barrier height and leakage current at -5 V were 0.6 eV and $1{\times}10^{-12}A$. respectively.

The IBE(ion beam etching)-induced Schottky barrier variation which depends on various etching history related with ion energy, incident angle and etching time has been investigated using voltage-current, capacitance-voltage characteristics of metal-etched silicon contact and morphology of etched surface were studied using AFM(atomic force microscope). For ion beam etched n-type silicons, Schottky barrier is reduced according to ion beam energy. It can be seen that amount of donor-like positive charge created in the damaged layer is proportional to the ion energy. By contrary, for ion beam etched p-type silicons, the Schottky barrier and specific contact resistance are both increased. Not only etching time but also incident angle of ion beam has an effect on barrier height. Taping-mode AFM analysis shows increased roughness RMS(Root-Mean-Square) and depth distribution due to ion bombardment. Annealing in an N$_2$ ambient for 30 min was found to be effective in improving the diode characteristics of the etched samples and minimum annealing temperatures to recover IBE-induced barrier variation were related to ion beam energy.

본 논문에서는 U-MOSFET 내부의 기생 body 다이오드(PN diode)를 쇼트키 body 다이오드(Schottky body diode)로 대체한 50V급 전력 U-MOSFET을 제안하였다. 쇼트키 다이오드는 PN 다이오드와 비교 시, 역 회복 손실(reverse recovery loss)을 감소시킬 수 있는 장점을 가지고 있다. 따라서 전력 MOSFET의 기생 body 다이오드를 쇼트키 body 다이오드를 대신함으로써 역 회복 손실을 최소화 할 수 있다. 제안된 쇼트키 body 다이오드(Schottky body diode) U-MOSFET(SU-MOS)를 conventional U-MOSFET(CU-MOS)와 전기적 특성을 비교한 결과, 전달(transfer) 및 출력(output)특성, 항복(breakdown)전압 등 정적(static) 특성의 변화 없이 감소된 역 회복 손실을 얻을 수 있었다. 즉, 쇼트키 다이오드의 폭(width)이 $0.2{\mu}m$, 쇼트키 장벽 높이(Schottky barrier height)가 0.8eV일 때 첨두 역전류(peak reverse current)는 21.09%, 역 회복 시간(reverse recovery time)은 7.68% 감소하였고, 성능지수(figure of merit(FOM))는 35% 향상되었다. 제안된 소자의 특성은 Synopsys사의 Sentaurus TCAD를 사용하여 분석되었다.

Au/Si(100) Schotty diode를 l00k~300k 온도범위에서 current voltage(I-V), capacitance-voltage(C-V)측정을 하였다. 얻어진 Schottky barrier height(SBH)갑은 실온에서 두측정값 모두 (0.79$\pm$0.02)eV 이다. 그러나 온도가 감소할수록 I-V측정에서 SBH는 선형적으로 감소하고 C-V측정에서 SBH는 온도에 따른 변화가 관찰되지 않았다. 이것은 낮은 온도에서 열이온 방출 이론을 따르지 않는다는 것을 나타낸다. 이것으로 재결합 전류를 고려하여 계산해 본 결과 I-V에서도 SBH의 변화가 관찰되지 않으므로 C-V측정과 일치됨을 보았다. 이런 상반된 결과를 가져오는 이유는 전류수송현상이 온도에 따라 변화하므로 생긴 것임을 알 수 있었다.

A Pd-SiC Schottky diode for detection of hydrogen gas operating at high temperature was fabricated. Hydrogen-sensing behaviors of Pd-SiC Schottky diode have been analyzed as a function of hydrogen concentration and temperature by I-V and ${\Delta}I$-t methods under steady-state and transient conditions. The effect of hydrogen adsorption on the barrier height was investigated. Analysis of the steady-state kinetics using I-V method confirmed that the atomistic hydrogen adsorption process is responsible for the barrier height change in the diode.

This paper describes the fabrication and characteristics of Schottky micro hydrogen sensors for high temperatures by using polycrystalline(poly) 3C - SiC thin film grown on Si substrates with thermal oxide layer using APCVD. Pd/poiy 3C-SiC Schottky diodes were made and evaluated by I-V and C-V measurements. Electric current density and barrier height voltage were $2\times10^{-3}\;A/cm^2$ and 0.58 eV, respectively. These devices could operate stably at about $400^{\circ}C$. According to $H_2$ concentrations, their barrier height($\Phi_{Bn}$) were changed 0.587 eV, 0.579 eV, 0.572 eV and 0.569 eV, respectively. the current was increased. Characteristics of implemented sensors have been investigated in terms of sensitivity, linearity of response, response rate and response time. Therefore, from these results, Pd/poly 3C-SiC Schottky devices have very high potential for high temperature chemical sensor applications.

The effect of neutron irradiation on the properties of SiC Schottky Diode has been investigated. SiC Schottky diodes were irradiated under neutron fluences and compared to the reference samples to study the radiation-induced changes in device properties. The condition of neutron irradiation was $3.1{\times}10^{10}$ $n/cm^2$. The current density after irradiation decreased from 12.7 to 0.75 $A/cm^2$. Also, a slight positive shift (${\Delta}V_{th}$= 0.15 V) in threshold voltage from 0.53 to 0.68 V and a positive change (${\Delta}{\Phi}_B$= 0.16 eV) of barrier height from 0.89 to 1.05 eV have been observed by the neutron irradiation, which is attributed to charge damage in the interface between the metal and the SiC layer.

Hydrogen-sensing behaviors of Pd- and Pt-SiC Schottky diodes, fabricated on the same SiC substrate, have been systematically compared and analyzed as a function of hydrogen concentration and temperature by I-V and$\DeltaI-t$ methods under steady-state and transient conditions. The effects of hydrogen adsorption on the device parameters such as the barrier height are investigated. The significant differences in their hydrogen sensing characteristics have been examined in terms of sensitivity limit, linearity of response, response rate, and response time. For the investigated temperature range, Pd-SiC Schottky diode shows better performance for H2 detection than Pt-SiC Schottky diode under the same testing conditions. The physical and chemical mechanisms responsible for hydrogen detection are discussed. Analysis of the steady-state reaction kinetics using I-V method confirmed that the atomistic hydrogen process is responsible for the barrier height change in the diodes.
