The Schottky barrier height and ideality factor of Ti on p-type strain
ed-Si (grown on a graded relaxed Si0.82Ge0.18 buffer layer) were inves
tigated in the temperature range 200-300 K using the current-voltage (
I-V) characteristics and were found to be temperature dependent. While
the ideality factor decreases with an increase in temperature, the ba
rrier height increases. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd.
