Abstract

The effect of interfaces states in Ag Schottky contacts on Zn-polar and O-polar bulk ZnO was investigated using current– voltage (I–V) measurements. Compared with Zn-polar ZnO, the barrier height was higher and the series resistance was lower for O-polar ZnO. The ideality factor versus voltage plot showed a peak for Zn-polar ZnO, which was associated with an interface state effect. The interface state density, calculated from I–V characteristics, was higher for Zn-polar ZnO. The results suggested that the hydrogen-related defects in Zn-polar ZnO were attributed to the high density of interface states..

Keywords
