摘要
A novel manufacturable integration of Si Schottky contact/diode using the standard W-contact process (instead of the standard silicide process) is demonstrated. Up to 4x smaller junction area is enabled. Schottky barrier diode with the novel integration shows the potential to replace the bipolar junction transistor/p-n diodes for low-voltage/low-power system-on-a-chip and memory applications and for electrostatic discharge. It is also viable for complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor millimeter-wave (30-300 GHz) designs per its 1-THz cutoff frequency.
