Co-Germanide Schottky Contacts on Ge

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this study, Co germanide Schottky barrier diodes on n-Ge (100) substrate were fabricated by sputtering metal Co on Ge, followed by annealing in vacuum at 700°C. The influence of annealing time was investigated on both the electrical properties of Co germanide Schottky barrier diodes and on the phase formation on n-Ge (100) substrate. With increasing annealing times growing or transformation of germanide entities occurs leading to reduction of the trap concentration and therefore the leakage current.
