TLDR
In this article, the forward current densityvoltage (J•V) characteristics of a Schottky diode were used to determine the ideality factor n, the barrier height φB, and the series resistance R of the diode with one single I•V measurement.
Abstract
It is shown that by using the forward current density‐voltage (J‐V) characteristics of a Schottky diode, a plot of d(V)/d(ln J) vs J and a plot of the function H(J) vs J, where H(J)≡V−n(kT/q)ln(J/A**T2), will each give a straight line. The ideality factor n, the barrier height φB, and the series resistance R of the Schottky diode can be determined with one single I‐V measurement. This procedure has been used successfully to study thermal annealing effects of W/GaAs Schottky contacts.

A modified forward I‐V plot for Schottky diodes with high series resistance

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that a reliable value of the barrier height can be obtained even if there is a series resistance which would hamper the evaluation of the standard lnI•vs•V plot.

Study of forward I‐V plot for Schottky diodes with high series resistance

K. Sato, +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the currentvoltage characteristics of Schottky barrier diodes with series resistance were investigated and it was shown that by using Norde's function F(V)=V/2−(kT/q)ln(I/SAT2) at two different temperatures, barrier height, n−value or ideality factor, and series resistance can be determined even in the case 1
