Abstract
Investigations of Al Schottky contacts to n-GaSb are presented. Barrier heights of 0.60 ±0.02 eV are found. Forward bias ideality factors between 2 at 300 K to 60 at 10 K are explained by electron tunneling. Ideality factors yield donor concentrations significantly greater than nominal accentuated by annealing suggesting modification of the reactive GaSb surface.
