Abstract: Forward Voltage - Current (V- I) characteristics are generally used to investigate the Schottky barrier diode parameters, viz., barrier height, ideality factor and series resistance. This method requires a linear region (v > 3kT l q) in the In (I) vs V characteristics. When a metal-semiconductor con tact exhibits relatively high series resistance, it is difficult to determine a linear region in these forward characteristics. Therefore, one can also consider the reverse part of the VI characteristics.  Investigations are reponed here on Pd, Au and Ag/n-GaAs Schottky barrier diode parameters under the whole bias range of the VI characteristics. The theoretical and experimental results are compared and discussed.
