Abstract

In this paper, current-voltage (i-Vg) results from different kinds of n-type InP Schottky diodes are reported. The diodes were fabricated on an unintentionally doped n-type (100) indium phosphide substrate, and the i-Vg characteristics were measured in the temperature range 100 300 K. For the ideality factor, n always exhibited a small (1) but continuous increase with the voltage. At higher forward voltage, slightly higher values of n were due to series resistance effect; in other words, the interface state density always remained small. However, it was possible to obtain some information in the case of discrete interface traps. It was shown that i-Vg measurements can be used as a fast method to determine the densities of the interface states when they equilibrate with the semiconductor.
