We show that carbon nanotube sensors with gold particles on the single-walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) network operate as Schottky barrier transistors, in which transistor action occurs primarily by varying the resistance of Au-SWNT junction rather than the channel conductance modulation. Transistor characteristics are calculated for the statistically simplified geometries, and the sensing mechanisms are analyzed by comparing the simulation results of the MOSFET model and Schottky junction model with the experimental data. We demonstrated that the semiconductor MOSFET effect cannot explain the experimental phenomena such as the very low limit of detection (LOD) and the logarithmic dependence of sensitivity to the DNA concentration. By building an asymmetric concentric-electrode model which consists of serially-connected segments of CNTFETs and Schottky diodes, we found that for a proper explanation of the experimental data, the work function shifts should be ~ 0.1 eV for 100 pM DNA concentration and ~ 0.4 eV for $100{\mu}M$.

Silicon has considerably good characteristics on electron, hole mobility and its price. With 2-D sinlge-layer Graphene/n-Si heterojunction solar cell shows that in one sun condition exhibit power conversion efficiency(PCE) of 10.1%. This photovoltaic effect was achieved by applying gate voltage to the Schottky junction of the heterostructure solar cell. Energy band diagram shows that Schottky barrier between Si and graphene can be adjust by the external electric field. because of the fermi level of the graphene can be changed by external gate voltage, we can control the Schottkky barrier of the heterostructure solar cell. The ratio between generated power of solar cell and consumption electrical power is remarkable. Since we use the graphene as the top gate electrode, most of the sun light can penetrate into the active area.

To solve the low efficiency problem of low-voltage power supplies, it has been studied to replace the schottky barrier diode with the MOSFET synchronous rectifier. In this paper, Phase Shift-Controlled Clamp Mode Zero Voltage Switching-Multi Resonant Converter with Synchronous Rectifier (PSC CM ZVS-MRC with SR) is presented to achieve high efficiency in low-voltage power supplies. The characteristics analysis of synchronous rectifier is established by using the MOSFET equivalent circuit and efficiency comparison is established between the Synchronous Rectifier and the schottky barrier diode. To verify the validity of the analysis, 33W(3.3V, 10A) PSC CM ZVS-MRC with self-driven synchronous rectifier at switching frequency of 1MHz is designed and tested. And it is confirmed that the experimental results are well consistent with the theoretical results. The maximum efficiency of the converter is 83.4% at full load, which is 3.3% higher than conventional schottky diode rectification.

In this paper we report the fabrication of an InGaAs metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) photodiode(PD) which an InAlAs barrier enhancement layer that has very low dark current and high speed chracteristics. The detector using Cr/Au schottky metal fingers with 4um spacing on a large active area of 300*300um$^{2}$ offers a low dark current of 38nA at 10V, a low capacitance of 0.8pF, and a high 3-dB bandwidth of 2.4 GHz. To our knowledge, these characteristics are better than any previously published results obtained from large area InGaAs MSM PD's. The RC equivalent model and frequency domain current response model considering transit time were also used to analyze the frequency characteristic of the fabricated device.

The effects of Cr content and film formation potential on electronic behaviors of the passive film on Fe-Cr alloys were investigated in borate buffer solution. Influence of pH on passive films of both Fe-Cr and Fe-Cr-Mo alloys was also investigated. Mott-Schottky and cyclic voltammetry techniques were used to elucidate electronic behaviors of passive films and their electrochemical characteristics. AES analysis of passive films was carried out. Results showed that doping density decreased as Cr content and film formation potentials increased. The addition of Mo to Fe-Cr alloy had little influence on donor densities in pH 9.2 solution but some effects on the decrease in donor densities in pH 1.6 acidic solution.

Polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) Schottky barrier thin film transistors (SB-TFT) are fabricated by erbium silicided source/drain for n-type SB-TFT. High quality poly-Si film were obtained by crystallizing the amorphous Si film with excimer laser annealing (ELA) or solid phase crystallization (SPC) method. The fabricated poly-Si SB-TFTs have a large on/off current ratio with a low leakage current. Moreover, the electrical characteristics of poly-Si SB TFTs are significantly improved by the additional forming gas annealing in 2 % $H_2/N_2$, because the interface trap states at the poly-Si grain boundaries and at the gate oxide/poly-Si channel decreased.

본 연구에서는 Pt/f4-SiC Schottky barrier diodes(SBDs)의 소자 성능향상과 미세구조와의 상관관계를 규명하였다. 다른 열처리 온도구간에 따른 금속/SiC 계면의 미세구조 평가는 X-ray scattering법을 사용하여 분석하였다. 소자의 역 방향 특성은 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 저하되었다. As-deposited와 $850^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 열처리된 소자의 최대 항복전압은 각각 1300 V와 626 V 이었다. 그러나, 소자의 순방향 특성은 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 향상되었다. X-ray scattering법으로 >$650^{\circ}C$ 이상의 열처리 온도에서는 Pt/SiC 계면에서 Pt-silicides가 형성되었고, 이러한 Silicides의 형성이 Pt/SiC 계면의 평활도를 증가시킨 원인이 됨을 보였다. SBDs의 순방향 특성은 열처리 과정동안 Pt/SiC 계면에서 형성된 silicides의 결정성에 강하게 의존함을 알 수 있었다.

Schottky barrier thin film transistors (SB-TFT) on polycrystalline silicon(poly-Si) are fabricated by platinum silicided source/drain for p-type SB-TFT. High quality poly-Si film were obtained by crystallizing the amorphous Si film with excimer laser annealing (ELA) or solid phase crystallization (SPC) method, The fabricated poly-Si SB-TFTs showed low leakage current level and a large on/off current ratio larger than 10), Significant improvement of electrical characteristics were obtained by the additional forming gas annealing in 2% $H_2/N_2$ ambient, which is attributed to the termination of dangling bond at the poly-Si grain boundaries as well as the reduction of interface trap states at gate oxide/poly-Si channel.

Edge termination technique is essential fer the fabrication of high volage devices. A proper edge termination technique is also needed in the fabrication of Silicon Carbide power devices for obtaining a stable high blocking voltage properties. Among the many techniques, the field plate formation is the easiest one that can utilize it for commercial usage. The growth of thick thermal oxide is difficult for SiC, however. In this paper, 6A grade SiC schottky barrier diodes(SBD) were fabricated with field plate edge termination. The oxides which is field plate were formed various methods such as dry oxidation, 10% $N_2O$ nitrided oxidation and PECVD deposition. The reverse characteristics of the SiC SBD with various oxide field plate were investigated.

The dependence of the electrical characteristics on the fast neutron fluence of an epitaxial 4H-SiC Schottky barrier diode (SBD) was investigated. The 30 MeV cyclotron was used for fast neutron irradiation. The neutron fluences evaluated through Monte Carlo simulation were in the 2.7 × 10¹¹ to 1.45 × 10¹³ neutrons/cm² range. Current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements were performed to characterize the samples by extracting the parameters of the irradiated SBDs. Neutron-induced defects in the epitaxial layer were identified and quantified using a deep-level transient spectroscopy measurement system developed at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute. As the neutron fluence increased from 2.7 × 10¹¹ to 1.45 × 10¹³ neutrons/cm², the concentration of the Z_1/2 defects increased by approximately 20 times. The maximum defect concentration was estimated as 1.5 × 10¹⁴ cm^-3 at a neutron fluence of 1.45 × 10¹³ neutrons/cm².
