The experimental analysis revealed that the SBHs of the Ni/p-Si SDs are 0.53 eV (I-V) and 0.54 eV (Norde) for as-deposited, 0.56 eV (I-V) and 0.58 eV (Norde) for 300ºC, 0.58 eV (I-V) and 0.59 eV (Norde) for 400ºC, and 0.50 eV (I-V) and 0.49 eV (Norde) for 500ºC, respectively. By performing C-V measurements for the Ni/p-Si SBDs, the SBH values were found to be in the range 0.64–0.59 eV for the as-deposited and 500ºC annealed samples, respectively. Further, interface state density (NSS) values of Ni/p-Si SD is estimated and is noticed that the NSS values decreases up to 400ºC annealing temperature and slightly increases after annealing at 500ºC. |
