摘要
Schottky barrier diodes are made by ac magnetron deposition of Au on p-type GaAs substrates. Sputtering causes donor-like defects in the surface region of semiconductors, and these donor-like states compensate mostly the Zn shallow acceptor states over distances of 200 nm below the surface. These defects are attributed to the As Frenkel pairs V-As-As-i with an energy level at 0.27 eV below the conduction band. The As Frenkel pairs are responsible for the Fermi level pinning at metal-semiconductor interfaces and also for the observed change in barrier height in sputtered GaAs material.
