The Schottky barrier modulation at PtSi/Si interface by strain and structural deformation
We show, using density functional theory (DFT) calculations, that the Schottky barrier height (SBH) at the PtSi/Si interface can be lowered by uniaxial strain applied not only on Si but also on PtSi. The strain was applied to the (001) direction of Si and PtSi, which is normal for the interface. The...
