Abstract :
In this paper, the authors study experimentally and numerically the Schottky barrier height (SBH) lowering of Pt silicide/n-Si diodes and its implications to Schottky-barrier (SB) source/drain p-FETs. The authors demonstrate that hole SBH can be lowered through an image-force mechanism by increasing the n-Si substrate doping, which leads to a substantial gain of the drive current in the long-channel bulk p-SBFETs. Numerical simulations show that the channel doping concentration is also critical for short-channel n- & p-SOI SBFETs performance
