Abstract

Partially ionized beam (PIB) deposition technique was used to deposit Al thin film on Si(n) substrate. The fabricated Schottky diodes showed an anomalous C-V characteristics for the Al films deposited with a bias potential equal to 2.5kV. The 1/C2 vs. V plot showed a drastic decrease in the slope as compared to the diodes deposited without the bias potential. Further measurements showed a frequency dependence in the C-V characteristics. This anomalous C-V characteristics can be explained by the formation of a p-n junction diode underneath the Si surface. A model of self-ion implantation which explains the formation of this surface p-layer on the Si(n) substrate is proposed and tested.
