Abstract

A novel approach is presented which leads to analytic solutions to the potential and the electron transport through inhomogeneous Schottky barriers. The existence of barrier height nonuniformities is shown to provide a simple explanation of the following abnormal experimental results, routinely observed from various Schottky barriers: greater-than-unity ideality factors, the T0 effect, the ‘‘soft’’ reverse characteristics, and the dependence of barrier height on the technique of measurement.
