Abstract
Schottky barrier contacts are one of the most commonly used semiconductor devices and have been the subject of extensive investigations. The study of GaAs-metal contacts reveals that in general Schottky barrier heights correlate only weakly with the work function of the metal. This has been attributed to a high density of electronic states present in the metal-GaAs contacts.
