Forward current-voltage characteristics of nonideal Ti/4H-SiC Schottky contacts with an ideality factor n = 1.1-1.2 in the exponential portion of the characteristics have been analyzed. The nonideality was considered to be a result of the formation of a thin dielectric layer between the deposited titanium layer and 4H-SiC. The following electrical parameters of the contacts were determined from experimental current-voltage characteristics: energy barrier height, thickness of the intermediate dielectric layer, and energy distribution of the density of states at the insulator-semiconductor interface.
