摘要: We studied electrical parallel and perpendicular transport in thin epitaxial erbium silicide films obtained by solid phase reaction codeposition of Er Si on (111) Si. Resistivity measurements show that the is metallic with a room‐temperature resistivity 34 μΩ cm; dependence Hall coefficient temperature can be explained two‐band conduction model. Magnetic effects are shown to affect low‐temperature coefficient. Perpendicular properties [current‐voltage I(V) capacitance‐voltage C(V) characteristics] internal photoemission methods silicide/n‐ or p‐type diodes. The diodes have perfect rectifying behavior Schottky barrier height about 0.74 eV measured methods. n‐type junction ohmic at room low temperatures; optical yield 0.28 eV. Some potential app...
