Electrical properties of the Au/Ti-n-GaAs Schottky diodes are studied in relation to the production technology. The forward and reverse current-voltage characteristics of the diodes at low electric fields are analyzed on the basis of the mechanism of thermionic emission through the metal-semiconductor barrier. It is assumed that an increase in the reverse currents in the voltage range from 20 to 60 V can be accounted for by the Pool-Frenkel effect. The excess reverse currents at voltages higher than 60 V are caused by the phonon-assisted tunneling via deep states in the depletion region of the semiconductor.
