3 Metal an semiconuctor: Schottky approach 3 q M 4. 75eV Two systems are isolate from Muller, Kamins 2003 E 0 M S : The Vacuum level. It represents the energy of a free electron : work function of the metal (constant of the material) : work function of the semiconuctor (epens on oping) : electron affinity (constant for semiconuctor) Consier the case where M S, an the two materials come in contact. On average, the electrons in the metal will tipically have lower energy than in the semiconuctor (lower E F ). Thus there will be a transfer of electrons from the semiconuctor into the metal (holes are ignore).
4 Formation of metal/semiconuctor interface 4 Ban iagram before contact establishe Charge reistribution at contact Ban iagram of M-S contact (Schottky) Barrier height Built-in potential From Van Zeghbroeck, 1996
5 Formation of metal/semiconuctor interface: Fermi-level pinning (Cowley-Sze) 5 Ban structure before contact: electrons trappe in the interface states create epletion zone an ban bening Ban structure after contact: If trap ensity is very high the alignment of the Fermi levels will be accomplishe by the transfer of electrons from the traps into the metal, instea of from the semiconuctor into the metal: q E q B G 0 (1) The trap ensity is finite, therefore, height of the potential barrier is somewhere between the (1) an Schottky moel: q B q( ) M From Colinge & Colinge 2005 M-S contact properties are etermine by potential variation in the semiconuctor (not metal) Usually ifference in work-functions oes not etermine the contact barrier ue to eistence of interface states (Fermi level pinning) this behaviour is technology epenent! However, the basic formalism for electrostatics currents is still vali
6 Metal-semiconuctor contact 6 M-S barrier height of n-gaas vs. work function of metal In GaAs there is harly a epenence of M-S contact barrier properties on metal Most of the barrier are within 0.2 ev though metal work functions are within 0.8 ev From Murakami, 1993

17 Current: thermionic theory: 1 17 Thermionic emission ominates in semiconuctors with high mobility an high oping. Current is ue to electrons with energy higher than the barrier. Although the potential barrier is larger than kt/q at room temperature there eists a non-zero probability that some electrons gather enough energy to overcome the barrier. Current from semiconuctor to metal: v E Electron ensity After substituting non-egenerate 3D-DOS an averaging, current from semiconuctor to metal: q B J s m A* T 2 ep kt with Richarson constant 2 4 qm* k m* A A* 120 h m cm K qv ep kt a

24 Measuring the barrier height: internal photoemission 24 Internal photoemisison: current through Schottky ioe is measure as a function of incient photon energy Illumination through a thin metal is usually use Photorsponce is given by Fowler theory (thermionic), where quaratic epenence is asymptotic at h b 3kT Can be use to stuy image-force lowering of barrier From Sze, 1981
25 Measuring the barrier height: C-V 25 Slope gives carrier ensity in semiconuctor Deep levels can be probe (or even ientifie by DLTS) From Sze, 1981
26 Measuring the barrier height: I-V activation energy 26 Arrenius plots of Al - n-si ioe current of current at a fie forwar voltage Slope of log(i s /T 2 ) vs. 1/T (for thermionic contact) gives activation energy corresponing to the barrier height Does not nee knowlege of contact geometry ev for Al-n-Si is measure From Sze, 1981
27 Ohmic contacts 27 Ohmic contacts shoul have negligible resistance relative to bulk or spreaing resistance of semiconuctor evice Since M-S contact usually has a potential barrier ue to interface states there are two ways to obtain low resistance junctions: Reuce barrier height by choice of metal an processing techniques Reuce the barrier with by oping From Sze, 1981
