Duration
1998-2002
Keywords
Workfunction, superlattice, semicondutors, Schottky barriers, heteroepitaxy, heterojunction
Description
The metal workfunction is one of the important parameters determining the electronic properties of a metal/semiconductor contact. We investigate the metal worfunction of metal surfaces on top of metallic and metal/semiconductor superlattices. The influence on the workfunction of the thickness different layers is investigated theoritically and experimentally. We also vary the nature of the layer on top of the superlattice.
