Temperature dependent electrical characterisation of Pt/HfO{sub 2}/n-GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) Schottky diodes

Journal Article Shetty, Arjun ; Vinoy, K. J. ; Roul, Basanta ; ... - AIP Advances

This paper reports an improvement in Pt/n-GaN metal-semiconductor (MS) Schottky diode characteristics by the introduction of a layer of HfO{sub 2} (5 nm) between the metal and semiconductor interface. The resulting Pt/HfO{sub 2}/n-GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) Schottky diode showed an increase in rectification ratio from 35.9 to 98.9(@ 2V), increase in barrier height (0.52 eV to 0.63eV) and a reduction in ideality factor (2.1 to 1.3) as compared to the MS Schottky. Epitaxial n-type GaN films of thickness 300nm were grown using plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). The crystalline and optical qualities of the films were confirmed using high resolutionmore »« less

Tunneling Current in Oppositely Connected Schottky Diodes Formed by Contacts between Degenerate n-GaN and a Metal

Journal Article Maiboroda, I. O., E-mail: mrlbr@mail.ru ; Grishchenko, J. V. ; Ezubchenko, I. S. ; ... - Semiconductors

The nonlinear behavior of the I–V characteristics of symmetric contacts between a metal and degenerate n-GaN, which form oppositely connected Schottky diodes, is investigated at free-carrier densities from 1.5 × 10{sup 19} to 2.0 × 10{sup 20} cm{sup –3} in GaN. It is demonstrated that, at an electron density of 2.0 × 10{sup 20} cm{sup –3}, the conductivity between metal (chromium) and GaN is implemented via electron tunneling and the resistivity of the Cr–GaN contact is 0.05 Ω mm. A method for determining the parameters of potential barriers from the I–V characteristics of symmetric opposite contacts is developed. The effectmore »« less

Single-crystal epitaxial thin films of the isotropic metallic oxides Sr[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]RuO[sub 3] (O [le] x [le] 1)

Journal Article Eom, C B ; Cava, R J ; Fleming, R M ; ... - Science (Washington, D.C.); (United States)

Single-crystal epitaxial thin films of the isotropic metallic oxides Sr[sub 1-x]Ca[sub x]RuO[sub 3] (O [le] x [le] 1) were grown on miscut SrTiO[sub 3](100) substrates in situ by 90[degree] off-axis sputtering. These thin films exhibit low isotropic resistivities, excellent chemical and thermal stability, good surface smoothness, and high crystalline quality. Furthermore, the lattice parameters and magnetic properties can be varied by simple changing the strontium/calcium ratio. These epitaxial thin films, and their multilayer structures with other oxide materials, can be used for the fabrication of superconducting, ferroelectric, magneto-optic, and electro-optic devices.

Electrically conducting oxide thin films of (Sr,Ca)RuO{sub 3} and structural compatibility with (Ba,Sr)TiO{sub 3}

Journal Article Dai, Z R ; Ohuchi, F S ; Son, S Y ; ... - Materials Research Bulletin

Electrically conducting oxide thin films, Ca{sub x}Sr{sub 1{minus}x}RuO{sub 3}, where x varies from 1 to 0, were prepared by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering, and their structural compatibility with (Ba,Sr)TiO{sub 3} thin films was investigated. It was found that both materials crystallize into the perovskite structure, and the lattice parameter for Ca{sub x}Sr{sub 1{minus}x}RuO{sub 3} can be tuned to that of (Ba,Sr)TiO{sub 3} by adjusting the Ca/Sr ratio, so that the compatibility between the two materials at the interface is increased. Structural, chemical, and electrical properties of the thin films and the heterostructures were characterized. Cross-sectional high-resolution electron microscopy (HREM)more »« less

Improvements in DC Current-Ioltage (I-V) Characteristics of n-GaN Schottky Diode using Metal Overlap Edge Termination

Journal Article Munir, T ; Aziz, A A ; Abdullah, M J ; ... - AIP Conference Proceedings

Practical design of GaN Schottky diodes incorporating a field plate necessitates an understanding of how the addition of such plate affects the diode performance. In this paper, we investigated the effects on DC current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of n-GaN schottky diode by incorporating metal overlap edge termination. The thickness of the oxide film varies from 0.001 to 1 micron. Two-dimensional Atlas/Blaze simulations revealed that severe electric field crowding across the metal semiconductor contact will cause reliability concern and limit device breakdown voltage. DC current-voltage (I-V) measurements indicate that the forward currents are higher for thinner oxide film schottky diodes with metalmore »« less
