摘要
The Schottky barrier heights in the M/n-(SiC)(1-x)(AlN)(x) systems are obtained on the assumption of a high density of surface states in the region of the metal (M) - SiC-AlN-solid solution contact. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of the Al/n-(SiC)(1-x)(AlN)(x) diodes are calculated. It is shown that at moderate concentrations of surface states (c approximate to 4-8), the Schottky barrier height Phi(x)(B)(C) of these diodes is close to the heterojunction potential barrier Phi(x)(g), which is the reason for the known similarity in the behavior of the corresponding I-V characteristics. The role of the ideality factors in the behavior of the I-V characteristics is analyzed. The obtained values of the Schottky barrier heights are in accordance with experimental data.
