- Abstract
- The rectifying characteristics of a Mo/SiC Schottky contact fabricated by facing targets sputtering system were investigated through current-voltage measurement. The Schottky diode parameters were extracted from the forward current-voltage characteristic curve by the Cheung and Cheung method and the Norde method. The as-deposited Mo/SiC Schottky contacts possessed Schottky barrier heights of 1.17 and 1.22 eV, respectively. The Schottky barrier heights of the diodes were decreased to 1.01 and 0.91 eV after annealing at 400 degrees C for 30 min. The ideality factor was increased from 1.14 and 1.08 to 1.51 and 1.41, respectively. This implies the presence of non-ideal behaviors due to a current transport mechanism other than ideal thermionic emission, and the non-ideal behaviors increased as a result of excessive thermal annealing. In contrast, only a negligible change was observed in the crystallographic characteristics. This result suggests that the reason for the deviation from the ideal rectifying characteristics of the Mo/SiC Schottky contact through the annealing process was the variation in the current transport mechanism, including recombination, tunneling, and/or minority carrier injection.
