In a given article, results on electrophysical properties of the Schottky diodes (HCD) fabricated of different metal alloys are reviewed. Results of author of a given review as well as other authors on the change of HCD properties depending on the chosen metal compositions and structures of metal films are presented. As revealed from X-ray diffraction analysis of the Ni–Ti, Pb–Sb, Al–Ni, TiB systems investigated, the main alloys have the amorphous structure at a certain proportion of components, while other films have the polycrystalline structure. Critical parameters of HCD depending on the composition and structure of the studied films are determined. The reasons of excess current and other observed effects near the crystallisation temperature of the investigated amorphous metal films are ascertained. As shown, the effects observed at the thermal annealing are concerned with the changes in the structure of metallic amorphous film during transition into polycrystalline state.
Keywords: composition and structure of amorphous metals, Schottky diodes, semiconductor alloy film, degradation, excess current.
