Surface States and Barrier Height of Metal-Semiconductor Systems
Abstract The dependence of the barrier height of metal-semiconductor systems upon the metal work function is derived based on the following assumptions: (1) the contact between the metal and the semiconductor has an interfacial layer of the order of atomic dimensions; it is further assumed that this layer is transparent to electrons with energy greater than the potential barrier but can withstand potential across it. (2) The surface state density (per unit area per electron volt) at the interface is a property only of the semiconductor surface and is independent of the metal. The barrier height φВn is defined here as the energy needed by an electron at the Fermi level in the metal to enter the conduction band of the semiconductor.
