33 33 Tailoring the Surface Electric Field φ depends on the surface electric field Lightly doped substrate: Low E, barrier-lowering is sensitive to reverse bias Heavily doped substrate: High E φ B is reduced, but reverse current increases tunneling Ohmic contact! To retain Schottky junction properties and to achieve φ that is insensitive to bias, a heavily doped surface layer that is fully depleted by the built-in potential is needed
