Numerical study of barrier height of Schottky diode at high temperature
A numerical perspective through MATLAB is implemented in this research to discuss the high temperature effect on the electrical parameters of Schottky diode. Temperature dependent height of barrier and series resistance were obtained by using Norde function along with thermionic emission model. Capacitance-Voltage aspects of Schottky diode have also been discussed in a wide temperature range 700K-1000K and the values of height of barrier were computed. The discrepancy between the outcomes of height of barrier acquired from Norde function and capacitance-voltage aspect have been investigated. A rapid decline was observed in the values of series resistance with increase in temperature.
Key Words: Norde function, Capacitance-Voltage aspects, Barrier height, Temperature effect
