Resistor-to-Schottky barrier analytical model for ohmic contact test structures
Analytical models for investigating Metal-Semiconductor (M-S) ohmic contacts in test structures have conventionally included resistive-only contact interfaces. Given that M-S contacts are fundamentally governed by electron tunnelling across the potential energy barrier at the M-S interface, this simplified approach may result in misinterpretation. This paper describes, in detail, a novel Resistor-to-Schottky (RSB) barrier analytical model that enables a more in-depth exploration of the physics underlying ohmic contacts. The proposed model is analysed and compared with models constructed using the semiconductor device simulator tool TCAD. The study reveals significant differences in outcomes when employing the RSB model rather than the conventional Transmission Line (TLM) model and contributes to a more comprehensive understanding of M-S ohmic contacts in test structures.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
