摘要
We have examined the temperature dependence of the barrier height of Al, Ag, Au, and W metal-semiconductor contacts on n-type 6H-SiC, and Al and Ag metal-semiconductor contacts on p-type 6H-SiC. The barrier height was determined from the reverse biased capacitance-voltage characteristics of the contacts at temperatures ranging from 300 to 670 K. The measurements were made at 1 MHz. These measurements were compared to the behavior predicted by standard models. All the diodes displayed a negative temperature dependence on n-type SiC, and a positive temperature dependence on p-type SiC. The temperature coefficient is related to the electronegativity of the metal by linear expression.
