Zinc oxynitride metal-insulator-semiconductor diodes are fabricated and characterized. Although these devices display excellent rectification, their temperature-dependent current-voltage characteristics are not explicable using analysis methodologies currently available in the literature. Therefore, we employ a simple curve fitting strategy in order to elucidate measured trends. It is found that the forward current trends are describable using three parameters, i.e., reverse saturation current, ideality factor, and series resistance, whereas the reverse current temperature dependence only requires one parameter, i.e., shunt resistance. All four of these model parameters are found to be strongly temperature dependent.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
