Add to FacebookWide-band-gap oxides such as SrTiO3 are shown to be critical tests of theories of Schottky barrier heights based on metal-induced gap states and charge neutrality levels. This theory is reviewed and used to calculate the Schottky barrier heights and band offsets for many important high dielectric constant oxides on Pt and Si. Good agreement with experiment is found for barrier heights. The band offsets for electrons on Si are found to be small for many key oxides such as SrTiO3 and Ta2O5 which limit their utility as gate oxides in future silicon field effect transistors. The calculations are extended to screen other proposed oxides such as BaZrO3. ZrO2, HfO2, La2O3, Y2O3, HfSiO4, and ZrSiO4. Predictions are also given for barrier heights of the ferroelectric oxides Pb1−xZrxTiO3 and SrBi2Ta2O9 which are used in nonvolatile memories. © 2000 American Vacuum Society.
