Abstract:
The effect of strong inversion in a metal-SiO2-p-Si system has been studied. It is seen that the plot of barrier height versus metal work function of the system becomes nonlinear when the metal work function is lowered below a critical value. These values of critical work function are calculated and analysed for different values of doping and oxide charge.
