The electrical properties of the Ir/Ru Schottky contacts on n-InGaN have been investigated by current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage (C-V), capacitance-frequency (C-f) and conductance-frequency (G-f) measurements. The obtained mean barrier height and ideality factor from I-V are 0.61 eV and 1.89. The built-in potential, doping concentration and barrier height values are also estimated from the C-V measurements and the corresponding values are 0.62 V, 1.20x1017 cm-3 and 0.79 eV, respectively. The interface state density (NSS) obtained from forward bias I-V characteristics by considering the series resistance (RS) values are lower without considering the series resistance (RS). Furthermore, the interface state density (NSS) and relaxation time (tau) are also calculated from the experimental C-f and G-f measurements. The NSS values obtained from the I-V characteristics are almost three orders higher than the NSS values obtained from the C-f and G-f measurements. The experimental results depict that NSS and tau are decreased with bias voltage. The frequency dependence of the series resistance (RS) is attributed to the particular distribution density of interface states. DOI: 10.21883/FTP.2017.12.45189.8340

ABSTRACTSi/In203 diodes have been prepared by e-beam evaporation of In203 tablets. Annealing of these devices was carried out in N2 and H2 /N2 mixture at 1 atm. in the temperature range of 400–800°C. Experimental data indicated a large increase in the Schottky barrier height and growth of interfacial oxide during annealing. The interface state density was reduced by a factor of 2, but the results indicated the increase in the barrier height to be mainly due to reduction of positive fixed charge density.

Abstract Use of non-contact test techniques to characterize degradation of the Si-SiO2 system on the wafer surface exposed to a plasma environment have proven themselves to be sensitive and useful in investigation of plasma charging level and uniformity. The current paper describes application of the surface charge analyzer and surface photo-voltage tool to explore process-induced charging occurring during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of TEOS oxide. The oxide charge, the interface state density, and dopant deactivation are studied on blanket oxidized wafers with respect to the effect of oxide deposition, power lift step, and subsequent annealing.

A nitride layer was formed on a SiC surface by plasma nitridation using pure nitrogen as the reaction gas at the temperature from 800°C to 1400°C. The surface was characterized by XPS. The XPS measurement showed that an oxinitride layer was formed on the SiC surface by the plasma nitridation. The high process temperature seemed to be effective to activate the niridation reaction. A SiO2film was deposited on the nitridation layer to form SiO2/nitride/SiC structure. The interface state density of the SiO2/nitride/SiC structure was lower than that of the SiO2/SiC structure. This suggested that the nitridation was effective to improve the interface property.
