研究目的
Investigating the electrical characteristics and interface state densities of Re/n-type Si Schottky barrier diodes prepared by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) method at room temperature.
研究成果
The study successfully analyzed the electrical characteristics and interface state densities of Re/n-type Si Schottky barrier diodes at room temperature. The diodes exhibited thermionic emission at low voltages and space charge limited conduction at higher voltages. The interface state densities were found to be significantly influenced by the series resistance. The findings contribute to the understanding of Schottky barrier diodes and their potential applications in electronic devices.
研究不足
The study is limited to room temperature measurements and does not explore the effects of varying temperatures on the electrical characteristics of the Schottky barrier diodes. Additionally, the impact of different interfacial layers or materials on the diode performance is not investigated.
