In this letter, we demonstrate 27% improvement in the buffer breakdown voltage of AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) grown on Si substrate by using a new Schottky-drain contact technology. Schottky-drain AlGaN/GaN HEMTs with a total 2-μm-thick GaN buffer showed a threeterminal breakdown voltage of more than 700 V, while conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMTs of the same geometry showed ...

Germanium nanowire (GeNW)-positioned Schottky solar cell was fabricated by a solution process. A GeNW-containing solution was spread out onto asymmetric metal electrodes to produce a rectifying current flow. Under one-sun illumination, the GeNW-positioned Schottky solar cell yields an open-circuit voltage of 177 mV and a short-circuit current of 19.2 nA. Schottky and ohmic contacts between a si...

In this paper, the electrical characteristics of a nanoscale double gate metal source drain transistor is thoroughly investigated. Since reduction channel thickness results in variation energy level sub-bands and increment band gap energy, bandstructure device calculated via employing sp3d5s* tight binding formalism 2D Hamiltonian with one atomic layer precision. Next, effective mass carriers d...

Owing to the difficulties associated with substitutional doping of low-dimensional nanomaterials, most field-effect transistors built from carbon nanotubes, two-dimensional crystals and other low-dimensional channels are Schottky barrier MOSFETs (metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors). The transmission through a Schottky barrier-MOSFET is dominated by the gate-dependent transmissio...

Motivation AlGaN/GaN HEMT rf transistors are rapidly developing due to their high output power density, high operation voltage and high input impedance. Ni-based gate metallization is widely used to form the Schottky gate contacts. However, temperature and electric field levels are higher in AlGaN/GaN compared to traditional III-Vs and therefore the diffusion of Ni into AlGaN/GaN constitutes a ...

In an article by Sasaki and Yoshida (2000), we encountered Schottky groups of genus 2 as monodromy groups of the hypergeometric equation with purely imaginary exponents. In this paper we study automorphic functions for these Schottky groups, and give a conjectural infinite product formula for the elliptic modular function λ.

Based on mature and high-yield high-voltage (HV) HBT technology monolithically integrated ultra-fast Schottky diodes are developed. The Schottky diodes take full advantage of the optimized HV-HBT layer structure allowing for diode ́s breakdown voltage of 80 V. Due to optimized thermal mounting using priopriatery flip-chip soldering high current switching capability up to 4 A at 60 V was demonstr...

A Schottky diode has been designed and fabricated on an n-AlGaAs/GaAs high-electron-mobility-transistor (HEMT) structure. Current-voltage (I-V) measurements show good device rectification, with a Schottky barrier height of 0.4349 eV for Ni/Au metallization. The differences between the Schottky barrier height and the theoretical value (1.443 eV) are due to the fabrication process and smaller con...

Problems with doping in nanoscale devices or low temperature applications are widely known. Our approach to replace the degenerate source/drain (S/D)-contacts is silicon nitride interface engineering. We measured Schottky diodes and MOSFETs very thin layers between metal. Al/SiN/p-Si show Fermi level depinning increasing SiN thickness. The diode fabricated rapid thermal nitridation at 900 ∘C re...

Relatively long (30 µm) high quality ZnO nanowires (NWs) were grown by the vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) technique. Schottky diodes of single NW were fabricated by putting single ZnO NW across Au and Pt electrodes. A device with ohmic contacts at both the sides was also fabricated for comparison. The current-voltage (I-V) measurements for the Schottky diode show clear rectifying behavior and no reve...
