Summary Abstract: Surface treatment and interface properties: What really matters?
Jerry M. Woodall,John L. Freeouf +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that the Fermi level at the surface is the same as that for the bulk surface and that the barrier height is only a weak function of the metal work function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Surface Fermi level engineering: Or there is more to Schottky barriers than just making diodes and field effect transistor gates
TL;DR: The surface Fermi-level engineering (SFE) as mentioned in this paper is an interesting middle ground in which the location of the surface and interface FermI level can determine semiconductor doping characteristics during crystal growth.
Book ChapterDOI
Schottky barriers: An effective work function model
John L. Freeouf,Jerry M. Woodall +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, a new model of Fermi-level pinning at the interfaces of compound semiconductor substrates and metallic or oxide overlayers was proposed, which assumes the standard Schottky picture of interface band alignment, but the interface phases involved are not the pure metal or oxide normally assumed by other models.
Journal ArticleDOI
Lifetime measurements on silicon‐on‐insulator wafers
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported noncontact measurements of the effective minority carrier lifetime in the superficial silicon layer of silicon-on-insulator wafers, where the carriers are excited by a pulse of short-wavelength photons (λ≤350 nm), all of which are absorbed in the first 500 A of the silicon layer.

Space charge modulation device
TL;DR: An electrical device which employs two-dimensional space charge modulation in a semiconductor structure was proposed in this paper. But it was not shown to work well in the presence of a bias bias on the rectifying contact.
