Schottky barrier of nonuniform contacts to n-type and p-type silicon
Abstract
A current-voltage measurement and thermionic emission theory have been applied to discrete parallel diodes (nonuniform diodes) with the unusual result that the sum of the apparent Schottky barriers to n Si and p Si is not equal to the band gap of Si.
