5 Preface The present-day semiconductor technology would be inconceivable without extensive use of Schottky barrier junctions. In spite of an excellent book by Professor E.H. Rhoderick (1978) dealing with the basic principles of metalsemiconductor contacts and a few recent review articles, the need for a monograph on "Metal-Semiconductor Schottky Barrier Junctions and Their Applications" has long been felt by students, researchers, and technologists. It was in this context that the idea of publishing such a monograph by Mr. Ellis H. Rosenberg, Senior Editor, Plenum Publishing Corporation, was considered very timely. Due to the numerous and varied applications of Schottky barrier junctions, the task of bringing it out, however, looked difficult in the beginning. After discussions at various levels, it was deemed appropriate to include only those typical applications which were extremely rich in R&D and still posed many challenges so that it could be brought out in the stipulated time frame. Keeping in view the larger interest, it was also considered necessary to have the different topics of Schottky barrier junctions written by experts. This monograph is divided into eight chapters. The first chapterreviews the physics of Schottky barrier junctions, while the second deals with the interface chemistry and structure of Schottky barrier formation. Chapter 3 emphasizes the design considerations, fabrication processes, and characterization aspects of metal-silicon and metal-gallium arsenide junctions in a general way. Chapters 4-8 are concerned with specific applications. Amongst these, Chapter 4 encompasses a number of optoelectronic structures which employ not only Schottky barrier junctions but also Schottky barrier-type junctions. Chapters 5, 6, 7, and 8 deal with various theoretical and practical aspects of Schottky photodiodes, microwave Schottky diodes, MESFETs, and Schottky barrier gate CCDs, respectively. Considering the timely importance of metalamorphous silicon junctions, a chapter on such junctions and their applications is also included at the end. In a monograph of this type it is difficult to maintain the interwoven nature of the text and ensure a uniformity of presentation and notations, especially when the contributors are from different parts of the world. For this, I regret any inconvenience to those readers who prefer a textbook-type approach. vii
6 viii PREFACE Finally, I am indebted to the contributors for their self-contained contributions and to Mr. Ellis H. Rosenberg and his staff, without whose cooperation it would have been difficult to bring out this monograph in the stipulated time. B.L. SHARMA
