摘要
A model is proposed to determine the barrier height fluctuations of the inhomogeneous Schottky junction from the experimental current-voltage (I-V) characteristics. This model is based on noninteracting parallel diodes. In it, the current of each diode responds to a general expression of the thermionic theory where the Schottky effect and the series resistance are enclosed. The barrier height fluctuations are an effective-area barrier-height distribution which is defined as the probability of occurrence of the barrier height for each diode. The model is applied to the experimental I-V curves reported by I. M. Dharmadasa , Solid-State Electronics 42, 595 (1998). (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics.
