Abstract

Models of Schottky barrier formation based on intrinsic interface or surface states suggest Fermi-level pinning at or near some effective mid-gap energy E B. This energy can be calculated directly from the bulk semiconductor band structure. Details of the calculation of E B and hence of Schottky barrier heights, as well as heterojunction band line-ups, are given here.
