Abstract
We investigated the electrical junction properties of the layered Sb2Te3 film formed on Si substrates. The current−voltage characteristics of the Sb2Te3/n-Si heterojunction showed an ohmic properties, whereas the Sb2Te3/p-Si heterojunction exhibited rectifying properties with a high barrier height of 0.77 eV. The capacitance−voltage characteristics of MOS capacitors with the Sb2Te3 electrode indicated an effective work function of 4.44 eV for the Sb2Te3 film. These findings suggest that the Sb2Te3/Si heterostructure possesses a low conduction band offset, as inferred from the temperature dependence of the current−voltage characteristics of the Sb2Te3/n-Si.
