The dielectric properties of Au/Si 3 N 4 /n-Si (MIS) structures are studied using the admittance measurements (C-V and G/ω-V) each as a function of temperature in a range from 80 K to 400 K for two frequencies (100 kHz and 1 MHz). Experimental results show that both the dielectric constant (ε) and the dielectric loss (ε) increase with temperature increasing and decrease with frequency increasing. The measurements also show that the ac conductivity (σ ac) increases with temperature and frequency increasing. The lnσ ac versus 1000/T plot shows two linear regions with different slopes which correspond to low (120 K-240 K) and high (280 K-400 K) temperature ranges for the two frequencies. It is found that activation energy increases with frequency and temperature increasing.
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.
