Au-Pt-Ti/high-k/n-InAlAs metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors with HfO2-Al2O3 laminated dielectric were fabricated. We found that a Schottky emission leakage mechanism dominates the low bias conditions and Fowler–Nordheim tunneling became the main leakage mechanism at high fields with reverse biased condition. The sample with HfO2 (4 m)/Al2O3 (8 nm) laminated dielectric shows a high barrier height ϕB of 1.66 eV at 30 °C which was extracted from the Schottky emission mechanism, and this can be explained by fewer In–O and As–O states on the interface, as detected by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy test. These effects result in HfO2 (4 m)/Al2O3 (8 nm)/n-InAlAs MOS-capacitors presenting a low leakage current density of below 1.8 × 10−7 A/cm2 from −3 to 0 V at 30 °C. It is demonstrated that the HfO2/Al2O3 laminated dielectric with a thicker Al2O3 film of 8 nm is an optimized design to be the high-k dielectric used in Au-Pt-Ti/HfO2-Al2O3/InAlAs MOS capacitor applications.

In this paper, the effect of atomic layer deposition-derived laminated interlayer on the interface chemistry and transport characteristics of sputtering-deposited Sm2O3/InP gate stacks have been investigated systematically. Based on X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements, it can be noted that ALD-derived Al2O3 interface passivation layer significantly prevents the appearance of substrate diffusion oxides and substantially optimizes gate dielectric performance. The leakage current experimental results confirm that the Sm2O3/Al2O3/InP stacked gate dielectric structure exhibits a lower leakage current density than the other samples, reaching a value of 2.87 × 10−6 A/cm2. In addition, conductivity analysis shows that high-quality metal oxide semiconductor capacitors based on Sm2O3/Al2O3/InP gate stacks have the lowest interfacial density of states (Dit) value of 1.05 × 1013 cm−2 eV−1. The conduction mechanisms of the InP-based MOS capacitors at low temperatures are not yet known, and to further explore the electron transport in InP-based MOS capacitors with different stacked gate dielectric structures, we placed samples for leakage current measurements at low varying temperatures (77–227 K). Based on the measurement results, Sm2O3/Al2O3/InP stacked gate dielectric is a promising candidate for InP-based metal oxide semiconductor field-effect-transistor devices (MOSFET) in the future.
