On the calculation of Schottky contact resistivity
نویسنده
چکیده
This numerical study examines the importance of self-consistently accounting for transport and electrostatics in the calculaiton of semiconductor/metal Schottky contact resistivity. It is shown that ignoring such self-consistency results in significant under-estimation of the contact resistivity. An explicit numerical method has also been proposed to efficiently improve contact resistivity calculations.

Properties of Pt Schottky Type Contacts On High-Resistivity CdZnTe Detectors
In this paper we present studies of the I-V characteristics of CdZnTe detectors with Pt contacts fabricated from highresistivity single crystals grown by the high-pressure Brigman process. We have analyzed the experimental I-V curves using a model that approximates the CZT detector as a system consisting of a reversed Schottky contact in series with the bulk resistance. Least square fits to the...
متن کاملSwitching mechanism in single-layer molybdenum disulfide transistors: an insight into current flow across Schottky barriers.
In this article, we study the properties of metal contacts to single-layer molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) crystals, revealing the nature of switching mechanism in MoS2 transistors. On investigating transistor behavior as contact length changes, we find that the contact resistivity for metal/MoS2 junctions is defined by contact area instead of contact width. The minimum gate dependent transfer leng...

When Al is directly deposited on n-type c-Si, however, and even if it is not alloyed with the silicon, the contact behaves in a rectifying fashion and is associated with a high contact resistance, despite the small difference (≈0.1–0.2 eV) that exists between the Al work function and the electron affinity of sil...
