摘要
Electrical conduction in the temperature range of 120-370 K has been studied in sandwiched structures of Al/Ta2O5/Si. The tantalum oxide films were prepared by evaporation of tantalum on a p-Si crystal substrate, followed by oxidation at a temperature of 600 degrees C. The temperature-dependent current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are explained on the basis of a phonon-assisted tunnelling model. The same explanation is given for I-V data measured on Ta2O5 films by other investigators. From the comparison of experimental data with theory the density of states in the interface layer is derived and the electron-phonon interaction constant is assessed.
