Abstract:
A method for controlling Schottky barrier height in a semiconductor device includes forming an alloy layer including at least a first element and a second element on a first surface of a semiconductor substrate. The semiconductor substrate is a first element-based semiconductor substrate, and the first element and the second element are Group IV elements. A first thermal anneal of the alloy layer and the first element-based substrate is performed. The first thermal anneal causes the second element in the alloy layer to migrate towards a surface of the alloy layer. A Schottky contact layer is formed on the alloy layer after the first thermal anneal.

Claim (Index 18):
The Schottky barrier semiconductor device according to  claim 15 , wherein the Schottky contact layer is formed of at least one selected from the group consisting of Al, Au, Er, Gd, Hf, La, Ni, Pt, Sc, Ti, Y, Yb, and Zr.
