Au/oxide/n-InP Schottky diodes were fabricated from heteroepitaxial InP layers grown on GaAs substrates by the metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) method from a new combination of source materials: ethyldimethylindium (EDMIn) and tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP). Anodic oxidation technique by using a solution of 10 g of ammonium pentaborate in 100 cc of ethylene glycole as the electrolyte was used to deposit a thin oxide layer. The barrier heights determined from three different techniques, current-voltage (I-V) measurements at room temperature and in the temperature range of 273 K - 373 K, and room temperature capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements are in good agreement, 0.7 - 0.9 eV which is considerably high as compared to the 0.45 - 0.55 eV in Au/n-InP Schottky diode without a Passivation layer. The ideality factors of 1.1 - 1.3 of the Schottky diodes were also determined from the I-Y characteristics. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) studies revealed only one shallow electron state at 92.6 meV below the bottom of the conduction band and no deep state in the heteroepitaxial InP layers grown from EDMIn and TBP.

$RuO_2$/GaN and related contacts were investigated for Schottky contacts in GaN-Based optical and electronic devices. We demonstrated that an $RuO_2$ film forms a stable Schottky contact on a GaN layer with a barrier height (${\Phi}_B$) of 1.46 eV and transmittance of 70% in the visible and near UV region. $RuO_2$/GaN Schottky diode showed a breakdown at over -50V and leakage current of only 0.3 nA at -5V. The $RuO_2$/GaN Schottky type photodetector had the UV/Visible rejection ratio of over $10^5$ and the responsivity of 0.23 A/W at 330 nm. The $RuO_2$ gate AlGaN/GaN EFET exhibited high drain current ($I_d$) of 689.3 mA/mm and high transconductance ($g_m$) of 197.4 mS/mm. Cut-Off frequency ($f_t$) and maximum operating frequency ($f_{max}$) were measured as 27.0 GHz and 45.5 GHz, respectively.

Ti/sic(4H) Schottky barrier diodes were fabricated. The donor concentration and the built-in potential obtained by capacitance-voltage(C-V) measurement was about $2.0{\times}10^{15}{\textrm}{cm}^{-3}$ and 0.65 V, respectively. The ideality factor of 1.07 was obtained from the slope of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics at low current density. The breakdown field under the reverse bias voltage was about $1.7{\times}10^3V/{\textrm}{cm}$ and was very high. The barrier height of Ti for SiC(4H) was 0.91 V, which was determined by the analysis of the saturation current-temperature and the C-V characteristics.

Silicon carbide (SiC) has received significant attention over the past decade because of its high-voltage, high-frequency and high-thermal reliability in devices compared to silicon. Especially, a SiC Schottky barrier diode (SBD) is most often used in low-voltage switching and low on-resistance power applications. However, electric field crowding at the contact edge of SBDs induces early breakdown and limits their performance. To overcome this problem, several edge termination techniques have been proposed. This paper proposes an improvement in the breakdown voltage using a double-field-plate structure in SiC SBDs, and we design, simulate, fabricate, and characterize the proposed structure. The measurement results of the proposed structure, demonstrate that the breakdown voltage can be improved by 38% while maintaining its forward characteristics without any change in the size of the anode contact junction region.

In order to overcome small current drivability of a tunneling field-effect transistor (TFET), a TFET using Schottky barrier (SBTFET) is proposed. The proposed device has a metal source region unlike the conventional TFET. In addition, dopant segregation technology between the source and channel region is applied to reduce tunneling resistance. For TFET fabrication, spacer technique is adopted to enable self-aligned process because the SBTFET consists of source and drain with different types. Also the control device which has a doped source region is made to compare the electrical characteristics with those of the SBTFET. From the measured results, the SBTFET shows better on/off switching property than the control device. The observed drive current is larger than those of the previously reported TFET. Also, short-channel effects (SCEs) are investigated through the comparison of electrical characteristics between the long- and short-channel SBTFET.

We investigated the influence of rapid thermal annealing on aluminum nitride (AlN) thin film Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) manufactured structures deposited on a 4H-silicon carbide (SiC) wafer using radio frequency sputtering. The Ni/AlN/4H-SiC devices annealed at 400℃ exhibited Schottky barrier diode (SBDs) properties with an on/off current ratio that was approximately 10 times higher than that of the as-deposited device structures and the devices annealed at 600℃ as measured at room temperature. Auger electron spectroscopy (AES) measurements revealed that atomic oxygen concentrations in the annealed AlN devices at 400℃, is ascribed to the improvement in on/off ratio and the reduction of on-resistance. Additionally, we investigated the electrical characteristics of the AlN/SiC SBD structures depending on the frequency variation of sound waves.

We fabricated a schottky barrier metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor(SB-MOSFET) by applying indium-tin-oxide(ITO) to the source/drain on a highly resistive GaN layer grown on a silicon substrate. The MOSFET, with 10 ${\mu}M$ gate length and 100 ${\mu}M$ gate width, exhibits a threshold gate voltage of 2.7 V, and has a sub-threshold slope of 240 mV/dec taken from the $I_{DS}-V_{GS}$ characteristics at a low drain voltage of 0.05 V. The maximum drain current is 18 mA/mm and the maximum transconductance is 6 mS/mm at $V_{DS}$=3 V. We observed that the spectral photo-response characterization exhibits that the cutoff wavelength was 365 nm, and the UV/visible rejection ratio was about 130 at $V_{DS}$ = 5 V. The MOSFET-type UV detector using ITO, has a high UV photo-responsivity and so is highly applicable to the UV image sensors.
