- W2048061760 abstract "The electronic and chemical structure of the metal-to-semiconductor interface was studied by photoemission spectroscopy for evaporated Cr, Ti, Al and Cu overlayers on sputter-cleaned as-deposited and thermally treated thin films of amorphous hydrogenated boron carbide (a-BxC:Hy) grown by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition. The films were found to contain ∼10% oxygen in the bulk and to have approximate bulk stoichiometries of a-B3CO0.5:Hy. Measured work functions of 4.7/4.5 eV and valence band maxima to Fermi level energy gaps of 0.80/0.66 eV for the films (as-deposited/thermally treated) led to predicted Schottky barrier heights of 1.0/0.7 eV for Cr, 1.2/0.9 eV for Ti, 1.2/0.9 eV for Al, and 0.9/0.6 eV for Cu. The Cr interface was found to contain a thick partial metal oxide layer, dominated by the wide-bandgap semiconductor Cr2O3, expected to lead to an increased Schottky barrier at the junction and the formation of a space-charge region in the a-B3CO0.5:H y layer. Analysis of the Ti interface revealed a thick layer of metal oxide, comprising metallic TiO and Ti 2O 3, expected to decrease the barrier height. A thinner, insulating Al2O3 layer was observed at the Al-to-a-B3CO0.5:Hy interface, expected to lead to tunnel junction behavior. Finally, no metal oxides or other new chemical species were evident at the Cu-to-a-B3CO0.5:Hy interface in either the core level or valence band photoemission spectra, wherein characteristic metallic Cu features were observed at very thin overlayer coverages. These results highlight the importance of thin-film bulk oxygen content on the metal-to-semiconductor junction character as well as the use of Cu as a potential Ohmic contact material for amorphous hydrogenated boron carbide semiconductor devices such as high-efficiency direct-conversion solid-state neutron detectors." @default.
