摘要
The internal photoemission method was used to measure the Schottky barrier height of Ni on AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. A barrier height of 1.31 eV was found for the Ni/Al0.15Ga0.85N/GaN heterojunction structure, as compared to a barrier height of 1.28 and 1.02 eV for the Ni/Al0.15Ga0.85N and Ni/GaN Schottky diodes, respectively.
