Capacitance-voltage current-voltage and deep level transient spectroscopy DLTS were used to measure the electrical properties of Au silicon Schottky junctions. Spreading resistance and scanning probe capacitance microscopy SCM were applied to measure local electrical properties. Using a preamplifier the sensitivity of DLTS was increased satisfactorily to measure transients of the scanning tip semiconductor junction. In the Fe-deposited area Fe-related defects dominate the surface layer in about pm depth. These defects deteriorated the Schottky junction characteristic. Outside the Fe-deposited area Fe-related defect concentration was identified in a thin layer near the surface. The defect transients in this area were measured both in macroscopic Schottky junctions and by scanning tip DLTS and were detected by bias modulation frequency dependence in SCM. Introduction Nanostructures require investigation of local electrical characteristics with high spatial resolution 1 . Nondestructive measurement of the surface and the interfaces is critical in SOI materials 2 such techniques are technologically important in characterization of growth processes 3 and in measurement of dielectric layers 4 . Defect identification was investigated in detail using few millimeter size electrodes 5 . Metal silicide films have attracted attention because of their scientific curiosity and technical importance 6 . Fe is a critical contamination in silicon and investigation of the defects related to Fe is technologically important. In earlier .
