When a p-and n-type semiconductor are joined at an interface their Fermi energies equilibriate. If we extend this thinking and apply it to an interface between a metal and (p-or n-type) semiconductor to make a metal-semiconductor heterojunction, what will the expected outcome be? Use diagrams and words to explain.

3. A metal contact to a n-type semiconductor can be considered as a p*-n junction with NA > ND. Draw an energy band diagram of the contact showing the Schottky barrier eoz and the depletion width d. Then draw the energy band diagram in forward and reverse biased conditions. Indicate how the +V or -V bias affects the contact potential and the depletion width. Explain how the bias changes the forward current due to the injection of electrons from the semiconductor into the metal, and the reverse current Io from the flow of metal free carriers into the semiconductor. Show that the rectifying behavior is just like that in a p-n junction.

TRUE OR FALSE- When different diode models are connected in series in such a way that they are oriented similarly i.e. will allow a specific current flow, the voltage required to forward bias the series connection is the forward voltage of the diode with the higher knee voltage specification. - When different diode models are connected in parallel in such a way that they are oriented similarly i.e. will allow a specific current flow, the voltage required to forward bias the parallel connection is lower than the forward voltage of either of the diodes knee voltage specification since they are connected in parallel i.e. their equivalent resistance is lower as well.
