Physical Foundation of a Recently Proposed Schottky-Contact Model

Abstract

The goal of this correspondence is to supplement the Schottky-contact model proposed in “A Generalized Drift-Diffusion Model for Rectifying Schottky Contact Simulation,” IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices, vol. 57, no. 7, July 2010, with a solid physical foundation by rigorously rederiving it from an analytical solution of Boltzmann's equation in the boundary layer.
