Abstract

A new method of forming a Schottky barrier, including a magnetron deposition of thin compound metal films (Pt, Ni and V) on silicon and a subsequent heat treatment step, was proposed. Using this method Schottky diodes were fabricated with a barrier height from 0,69 to 0,71 V. It was found that the barrier layer consists of Ni1-xPtxSi silicide phase. Full text download
