KnowraSchottky barrierLinked fromLinked fromThe 9 pages that link to Schottky barrier, each with the reason it gives.All 9Broader topic 2Related 3Compared with 4P–n junctionCompared with: Unlike this junction, it joins a metal to a semiconductor rather than two doped regions.Fermi levelRelated: The metal and semiconductor Fermi levels align at equilibrium, creating band bending and a barrier.Work functionRelated: The metal work function helps set the barrier at a semiconductor contact.Depletion regionCompared with: It can create a depletion region at a contact rather than at a p–n junction.Schottky diodeBroader topic: Its height and shape govern the diode’s forward conduction and reverse leakage.HeterojunctionCompared with: It is a related interface barrier, but one side is a metal rather than another semiconductor.Ohmic contactCompared with: A substantial interface barrier makes a metal–semiconductor junction non-ohmic.Semiconductor deviceRelated: It enables rectifying contacts and low-forward-voltage Schottky diodes.Metal–semiconductor junctionBroader topic: It governs carrier injection and gives many metal–semiconductor contacts their rectifying behavior.
