Abstract

The temperature dependence of the current–voltage characteristics of Ni–GaN Schottky barriers have been measured and analyzed. It was found that the enhanced tunneling component in the transport current of metal-GaN Schottky barrier contacts is a likely explanation for the large scatter in the measured Richardson constant.
