Abstract

We studied Schottky barrier height of lead on n- and p-type ideally terminated Si(111)1×1-H unreconstructed surface by electrical measurements and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The hydrogenation of the Si(111) surface was done by means of wet etching in HF and NH4F. The deposition of Pb was made under ultrahigh vacuum conditions. There are differences between the barrier heights from the I-V and from the XPS measurements. The reasons seem to be a bad wettability of Pb to Si(111)1×1-H and a possible surface reconstruction of Si under the thicker metal film.
