Thin film effects in semiconductor structures
RESEARCH PROJECT (OTKA T035272)







Sponsor:  National Research Fund (OTKA)
Contract No.: T035272.

Duration: 2001-2004.

Aim of the project:
            The presence of thin films and layers in semiconductor structures can influence their electrical behaviour significantly. E.g., the presence of a quantum well or a layer containing quantum dots, can yield unusual electrical properties, while a thin semiconductor layer with opposite conductivity or a thin insulator film at the semiconductor surface can be used for the engineering of Schottky barrier height. The aim of this project is to study the electrical behavior of different semiconductor structures containing thin layers or films, and to analyse the physical origin of the obtained electrical characteristics.
