New method to measure low Schottky barriers on n-type silicon

Abstract
To overcome difficulties which arise when either the series resistance is too high or the Schottky barrier height is too low, a new and simple method was developed to measure barrier height. Crucial point is the application of a ‘‘one‐sided’’ configuration. This method was successfully applied to the GdSi2 system, where φB =0.38±0.005 eV was measured.
