摘要
This paper discusses natural nonuniformities in the height of a Schottky barrier caused by the discreteness of impurity charges randomly distributed in the depletion region. The parallel-diode model is used to show that these natural fluctuations in the effective barrier height at a metal-semiconductor junction, on the average, do not exceed kT at room temperature for doping levels less than or equal to 10(18) cm(-3).
