전달 행렬 방법과 capacitance-voltage 특성, 그리고 측정된 광응답 스펙트럼을 이용하여 Schottky 다이오드 UV-A와 B 광검출기에 사용되는 GaN, $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}N$ 등의 반도체 및 Schottky 접촉 금속 Ni의 물질특성인 흡수계수(absorption coefficient)를 추출하였다. 입사된 빛이 반도체의 공핍영역에서 흡수되는 양을 구하고, 이로부터 각 파장에서의 광응답 특성을 얻는 과정을 컴퓨터 프로그램으로 구현하였다. 그리고, 계산 값을 측정치와 비교하여 각 파장에서 GaN, $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}N$, Ni의 흡수계수를 얻을 수 있었다. 추출된 흡수계수를 이용하여 자외선 광검출기의 광응답을 높이는 설계 방안을 모색하였다. Ni의 흡수계수가 크기 때문에 광응답을 결정하는 주요 요소는 Ni 전극의 두께이다. 따라서 Schottky 접촉 금속 Ni의 두께를 줄이고, 공핍 영역의 크기를 늘릴 수 있다면 광응답 특성이 더욱 향상된 광검출기의 실현이 가능해질 것이다.

By improving the conducting process of metal source/drain (S/D) in direct contact with the channel, schottky barrier metal-oxide-semiconductor field effect transistors (SB MOSFETs) reveal low extrinsic parasitic resistances, offer easy processing and allow for well-defined device geometries down to the smallest dimensions. In this work, we investigated the arrhenius plots of the SB MOSFETs with different S/D schottky barrier (SB) heights between simulated and experimental current-voltage characteristics. We fabricated SB MOSFETs using difference S/D metals such as Cr (${\Phi}_{Cr}$ ~4.5 eV) and Ni (${\Phi}_{Ni}$~5.2 eV), respectively. Schottky barrier height (${\Phi}_B$) of the fabricated devices were measured to be 0.25~0.31 eV (Cr-S/D device) and 0.16~0.18 eV (Ni-S/D device), respectively in the temperature range of 300 K and 475 K. The experimental results have been compared with 2-dimensional simulations, which allowed bandgap diagram analysis.

To improve the performance of organic thin film transistor, we investigated the properties of gate insulator's surface according to the leakage current by I-V measurement. The surface was treated by the dilute n-octadecyltrichlorosilane solution. The alkyl group of n-octadecyltrichlorosilane induced the electron tunneling and the electron tunneling current caused the breakdown at high electric field, consequently shifting the breakdown voltage. The 0.5% sample with an electron-rich group was found to have a large leakage current and a low barrier height because of the effect of an energy barrier lowered by, thermionic current, which is called the Schottky contact. The surface properties of the insulator were analyzed by I-V measurement using the effect of Poole-Frankel emission.

The theoretical current density equations for organic semiconductors was derived according to the internal carrier emission equation based on the diffusion model at the Schottky barrier contact and the mobility equation based on the field dependence model, the so-called "Poole-Frenkel mobility model." The electric field becomes constant because of the absence of a space charge effect in the case of a higher injection barrier height and a lower sample thickness, but there is distribution in the electric field because of the space charge effect in the case of a lower injection barrier height and a higher sample thickness. The transition between the injection- and bulk-limited currents was presented according to the Schottky barrier height and the sample thickness change.

W/n-GaN Schottky diodes were irradiated with $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}-rays$ to doses up to 315Mrad. The barrier height obtained from current-voltage (I-V) measurements showed minimal change from its estimated initial value of ${\sim}0.4eV$ over this dose range, though both forward and reverse I-V characteristics show evidence of defect center introduction at doses as low as 150 Mrad. Post irradiation annealing at $500^{\circ}C$ increased the reverse leakage current, suggesting migration and complexing of defects. The W/GaN interface is stable to high dose of ${\gamma}-rays$, but Au/Ti overlayers employed for reducing contact sheet resistance suffer from adhesion problems at the highest doses.

Pt와 ITO 상부전극의 top-electode/NiO/Pt 구조에서 resistance switching현상을 연구하였다. 하부전극물질이 resistance switching현상에 미치는 영향은 이미 연구되었다. Ohmic 이나 low Schottky contact은 NiO 박막의 resistance switching 현상은 높은 전기장의 인가에 의해 것이 나타나는 것은 알 수 있었다. Ohmic contact에서는 유도전기장에 의한 resistance switching 현상들을 관찰할 수 있다. low Schottky barrier를 가지는 ITO/NiO/Pt 구조에서 resistances switching현상은 관찰되지 않고 Pt/ITO구조로 Ohmic 접촉은 유도전기장에 의한 resistance switching 현상이 나타나지 않음을 알 수 있었다.

The effect of surface plasmon on ZTO thin films was investigated. The phenomenon of depletion occurring in the interface of the ZTO thin film created a potential barrier and the dielectric layer of the depletion formed a non-mass particle called plasmon. ZTO thin film represents n-type semiconductor features, and surface current by plasma has been able to obtain the effect of improving electrical efficiency as a result of high current at positive voltage and low current at negative voltage. It can be seen that the reduction of electric charge due to recombination of electronic hole pairs by heat treatment of compound semiconductors induces higher surface current in semiconductor devices.

IGZO thin films were prepared on n-type Si substrates to research the interface characteristics between IGZO and substrate. After the annealing processes, the depletion layer was formed at the interface to make a Schottky contact owing to the electron-hall fair recombination. The carrier density was decreased by the effect of depletion layer and the hall mobility decreased during the deposition processes. But the annealing effect of depletion layer increased the hall mobility because of the increment of potential barrier and the extension of depletion layer. It was confirmed that it is useful to observe the depletion effect and Schottky contact's properties by complementary using the Hall measurement and I-V measurement.

High voltage SiC Schottky barrier diodes with field plate structure have been fabricated and characterized. N-type 4H-SiC wafer with an epilayer of ∼10$\^$15/㎤ doping level was used as a starting material. Various Schottky metals such as Ni, Pt, Ta, Ti were sputtered and thermally-evaporated on the low-doped epilayer. Ohmic contact was formed at the backside of the SiC wafer by annealing at 950$^{\circ}C$ for 90 sec in argon using rapid thermal annealer. Field oxide of 550${\AA}$ in thickness was formed by a wet oxidation process at l150$^{\circ}C$ for 3h and subsequently heat-treated at l150$^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in argon for improving oxide quality. The turn-on voltages of the Ni/4H-SiC Schottky diode was 1.6V which was much higher than those of Pt(1.0V), Ta(0.7V) and Ti(0.7). The voltage drop was measured at the current density of 100A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ showing 2.1V for Ni Schottky diode, 1.45V for Pt 1.35V, for Ta, and 1.25V for Ti, respectively. The maximum reverse breakdown voltage was measured 1100V in the file plated Schottky diodes with 101an thick epilayer.

In this paper, thermal stability of palladium germanide (Pd germanide) is analyzed for high performance Schottky barrier germanium metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (SB Ge-MOSFETs). Pd germanide Schottky barrier diodes were fabricated on n-type Ge-on-Si substrates and the formed Pd germanide shows thermal immunity up to $450^{\circ}C$. The barrier height of Pd germanide is also characterized using two methods. It is shown that Pd germanide contact has electron Schottky barrier height of 0.569~0.631 eV and work function of 4.699~4.761 eV, respectively. Pd germanide is promising for the nanoscale Schottky barrier Ge channel MOSFETs.
