摘要: The current-voltage characteristics of n-type GaN Schottky diodes have been measured in the extrinsic region (that is, temperature range 100–300 K). effective density states conduction band decreases with decreasing and is close to electron concentration at 100 K, leading a reduction energy difference between minimum Fermi level an increase probability tunneling. Therefore, changes tunneling low are responsible for decrease barrier height ideality factor on basis thermionic emission model. mechanism forward current flow has clearly established this study, (thermionic field emission) interpretation I-V 300 K (100
