Metal-semiconductor interfaces are of huge importance for applications and are considered for various modern device architectures.
We study the interface between NiSi2 and silicon on the basis of density functional theory.
Different crystal orientations and strain states are investigated systematically.
The energetically most favorable interface orientation is worked out, which can explain recent experimental observations [1].
Using atomistic quantum transport simulation, the tunneling transport through the interface is calculated [2].
The transport is related to underlying properties including the Schottky barrier height and the effective mass.
This is done on the basis of the Wentzel-Kramers-Brillouin approximation, which can describe the tunneling transport reasonably well.
Finally, the Schottky barrier height and its strain dependence is discussed in the context of the metal-induced gap states model.
