In this paper we report the electrical characteristics of the Schottky diodes formed by electrodeposition of copper on n-Si (111) from 0.2 M CuSO4 5H(2)O + 0.5 M H3BO3 (pH=2.0) solution. Electrical measurements have been carried out at room temperature. n-Si/Cu diode current-voltage characteristics display low reverse-bias leakage currents and average barrier heights of 0.59 +/- 0.02 eV and 0.67 +/- 0.02 eV obtained from both I-V and C-V measurements at room temperature, respectively.
