Abstract

It is shown that current transport through Schottky barriers formed by Pd on n-type silicon with a thin thermally grown oxide is sensitive to hydrogen in the ambient. It is shown that a transition from minority- to majority-carrier dominated current occurs with increasing hydrogen pressure.
