Different radiation and temperature effects on Schottky diodes are technologically important from radiation to sensing applications. We discussed irradiation and temperature dependent electronic properties of Pt/n-InP Schottky contact. Firstly we fabricated Pt/n-InP Schottky diode by magnetron sputtering technique. Then sample was exposed to 12 MeV electron irradiation. We measured I-V characteristics in 20, 160, 300 and 400 K before and after irradiation. Changes in forward currents for 160, 300 and 400 K were not remarkable but irradiation was effective only in 20 K slightly. Reverse currents of Pt/n-InP Schottky diode were increased in 20, 160, 300 and 400 K by irradiation.
