Abstract  In this study, Ni germanide Schottky barrier diodes on n-Ge (100) substrate were fabricated by sputtering metal Ni on Ge, followed by annealing in N2 atmosphere from 300 to 500oC in a furnace. The results of x-ray diffraction (XRD) show that the Ni germanides were formed and the diffraction line of (111) were observed in all samples. The structure of Ni germanide is orthorhombic with lattice parameters a=5.811, b=5.381, c=3.428. However, the lines (121) and (002) were observed only in the samples annealed at a temperature higher than 400oC. The influence of annealing temperature on the electrical properties of Ni germanide Schottky barrier diodes on n-Ge (100) substrate was investigated. Experimental results indicate that Schottky barrier diodes on n-Ge (100) with current-voltage (I-V) rectifier characteristics were obtained. The Ion/Ioff ratio of the Schokky diode obtained by using a 300oC annealing process is the highest. The Schottky barrier heights were evaluated by the capacitance-voltage method.
