We present a theoretical investigation of the influence of a non-reacted Si layer on the transport and optical properties of CoSi 2 /Si 1-x Ge x Schottky barrier diodes grown from Co/Si/Si 1-x Ge x systems. The presence of this layer reduces the effect of the lowering of the Schottky barrier height which would be expected in a CoSi 2 /Si 1-x Ge x . However, due to the small thickness of this Si layer, the charge carriers are able to tunnel through it. This tunneling process allows for a significant lowering of the Schottky barrier height and therefore an extension of the detection regime into the infrared. © 1996 American Institute of Physics.
