CORRELATION BETWEEN BARRIER PARAMETERS OF Al2O3 TUNNEL JUNCTION AND TOP ELECTRODE METAL
Al2O3隧道结势垒参数与上电极金属的相关性

Models of trapezoidal barrier in two extreme cases are used in this paper to study barrier parameters of A1-A12O3-M tunnel junctions, the top electrodes of which are Au, Ag and Cu, respectively. From the fitting calculation of V-I characteristics of the above junctions at 77 K, we find that both models can explain the experimental results very well, and the barrier parameters correlate with the atom radius of top electrode metal, the work function of top electrode metal material and the electron affinity to isolarer medium A12O3, respectively.
