The current–voltage (I–V) characteristics of metal–semiconductor Al/n-GaAs (MS) Schottky diodes were measured at room temperature (300 K). In addition, capacitance–voltage–frequency (C–V–f) characteristics are investigated by considering the interface states (Nss) at frequency 1 MHz. SBD parameters such as ideality factor n, the series resistance (Rs) determined from Cheung’s functions and Schottky barrier height, Φbo, are investigated as functions of temperature. Ideality factor, barrier height and series resistance values were found as 2.93-3.51, 0.58–1.47 eV and 0.80-0.59Ω, respectively. The diode shows non-ideal I–V behaviour with an ideality factor greater than unity. Furthermore, the energy distribution of interface state density was determined from the forward bias I–V characteristics by taking into account the bias dependence of the effective barrier height. The results show the presence of thin interfacial layer between the metal and semiconductor. The interface distribution profile (Nss) as a function of (Ec-Ess) was extracted from the forward-bias I–V measurements by taking into account the bias dependence of the effective barrier height and series resistance (Rs) for the Schottky diodes. The value of NSS obtained 1.92x1013(eV)-1cm-2..

Active accounts were imported to the new platform and assigned a random password by default. In order to access your account you need to access the login page and go through the Lost Password dialog (involves the system sending you an email with instructions) in order to reset your password. This step is necessary as passwords are kept in hashed form and the new platform uses modern hashing algorithms incompatible with the previous ones.
