Forward current-voltage characteristics of 4H-SiC Schottky diode with Ni Schottky contact have been simulated based on in the physical analytical models based on Poisson's equation, drift-diffusion and continuity equations. On the base of analysis of current-voltage characteristics in terms of classical thermionic emission theory it is established that the proposed simulation model of Schottky diode corresponds to the "ideal" diode with average ideality factor n1.1 at low temperature ~300 K. It is determined that effective Schottky barrier height equals 1.1 eV for Ni/4H-SiC Schottky diode.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
