Abstract

The properties of the interface states of MBE grown CoSi2/n-Si(111) intimate contacts has been investigated using forward bias capacitance measurement. The barrier height øbn for this structure is 0.66±0.01 V. It has been found that there is an interface state band located in 0.44–0.50 eV bfow the conduction band edge of Si. The density of states D it is about 4×1012 cm−2 eV−1, lower than those made by other methods. This intrface state band is in equilibrium with Si and the charge exchange occurs mainly with the electrons in the conduction band of Si. The electron capture cross section oa is about 3×10−15 cm2 . In addition, some discrete interface states were found at 0.53 eV, 0.51 eV and 0.47 eV below the conduction band edge of Si, respectively for several samples. The density of states D it ranges (1.5–3.5)×1010 cm−2 . They are probably caused by localized point defects formed during CoSi2 growth.
