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 10):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein the first thermal anneal lowers the Schottky barrier height.
