Abstract 

The effect of heat treatment on the parameters and characteristics of Ag/n-n+GaAs heterojunctions is studied. Various methods for the Schottky barrier height and the nonideality factor determining have been examined and tested. The most accurate method for determining the heterojunction parameters using the current-voltage characteristic was found

Keywords
