Abstract

TiSi/Si1-x-yGexCy Schottky diodes have been fabricated on both Si1-x-yGexCy layers with and without a Si-cap layer and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy (RBS) was used to verify the thickness and composition of the silicide phases. The forward- and reverse-current voltage (I-V) characteristics for the diodes were measured in the temperature range of 100-300K to determine the Schottky barrier height ( phib) and ideality factor (n). It has been found that the ideality factor decreases with an increase in temperature while the barrier height increases. The effect of the Si-cap layer on electrical characteristics of the Si1-x-yGexCy Schottky diodes is also studied. Results are compared with a similar TiSi/Si Schottky diode processed in the same run.
