Electrical transport properties of isolated carbon nanotube/Si heterojunction Schottky diodes
A detailed study of the electrical transport properties of Pd contacted carbon nanotube (CNT)/Si heterojunctions is presented. The CNT with a diameter ranging from 1.2 to 2.0?nm on n-type Si substrates showed rectifying behavior with the ideality factor of 1.1–2.2 and turn on voltage of 0.05–0.34?V. The current-voltage characteristics of the CNT/n+-Si diodes were investigated in the temperature range from 50 to 300?K. The transition from thermionic emission to tunneling process was seen in the forward current around 150?K and the Schottky barrier height at Pd/CNT interface is estimated to be 0.3–0.5?eV.

Abstract

A detailed study of the electrical transport properties of Pd contacted carbon nanotube (CNT)/Si heterojunctions is presented. The CNT with a diameter ranging from 1.2 to 2.0?nm on n-type Si substrates showed rectifying behavior with the ideality factor of 1.1–2.2 and turn on voltage of 0.05–0.34?V. The current-voltage characteristics of the CNT/n+-Si diodes were investigated in the temperature range from 50 to 300?K. The transition from thermionic emission to tunneling process was seen in the forward current around 150?K and the Schottky barrier height at Pd/CNT interface is estimated to be 0.3–0.5?eV.
