Characterisation of Pd Schottky barrier on n-type GaN

Abstract
The electrical characteristics of Pd Schottky barrier to n-type GaN grown by MOCVD were investigated. The effective barrier height was found to be 0.94 and 1.07 eV from I-V and C-V measurements, respectively. The ideality factor was ~1.04. The effective Richardson constant was determined to be ~3.24 Acm-2K-2 using the modified Norde plot. These values were also compared to Au Schottky contacts.
