摘要: The Schottky barrier height of W on p‐type Si1−xGex/Si has been investigated as a function composition (10%≤x≤33%) and Si1−xGex thickness for given composition. decreases with increasing Ge fraction follows the rate strain relaxation. These results suggest that Fermi level at interface is pinned relative to conduction band.
