In situ current-voltage ( I - V ) analyses of Pt/n-Si (100) Schottky barrier (SB) diode are carried out during 100 MeV Ni +7 ion beam irradiation. The effect of MeV ion beam on the electrical parameters like ideality factor (η) and SB height (SBH) (φ B ) of SB diode is investigated. For lower fluences, SBH decreases from its preradiation value, but there is almost no change in SBH for ion fluences ranging from 5×10 11 to 1×10 13 ions/cm 2 . The reverse current is increased by about two orders of magnitude at the fluence of 5×10 13 ions/cm 2 which corresponds to an exposure of a few tens of years in low earth orbit. The radiation-induced diffusion of Schottky metal into the semiconductor and creation of trap centers at the metal-semiconductor interface are supposed to be the most plausible mechanisms for these deviations in SB diode characteristics.
