The electrical characterization of p-Silicon (Si) and n-Zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorod heterojunction diode has been performed. ZnO nanorods were grown on p-Silicon substrate by the aqueous chemical growth (ACG) method. The SEM image revealed high density, vertically aligned hexagonal ZnO nanorods with an average height of about 1.2 μm. Electrical characterization of n-ZnO nanorods/p-Si heterojunction diode was done by current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage (C-V), and conductance-voltage (G-V) measurements at room temperature. The heterojunction exhibited good electrical characteristics with diode-like rectifying behaviour with an ideality factor of 2.7, rectification factor of 52, and barrier height of 0.7 V. Energy band (EB) structure has been studied to investigate the factors responsible for small rectification factor. In order to investigate nonidealities, series resistance and distribution of interface state density (NSS) below the conduction band (CB) were extracted with the help of I-V and C-V and G-V measurements. The series resistances were found to be 0.70, 0.73, and 0.75 KΩ, and density distribution interface states from 8.38 × 1012 to 5.83 × 1011 eV−1 cm−2 were obtained from 0.01 eV to 0.55 eV below the conduction band.

The paper presents the results of electrical characterization of MOS capacitors and SOI MOSFETs with novel high-κ LaLuO3 dielectric as a gate oxide. The energy distribution of interface state density at LaLuO3/Si interface is presented and typical maxima of 1.2×1011 eV–1cm–2 was found at about 0.25 eV from the silicon valence band. The output and transfer characteristics of the n- and p-MOSFET (channel length and width were 1 µm and 50 µm, respectively) are presented. The front channel mobility appeared to be 126 cm2V–1s–1 and 70 cm2V–1s–1 for n- and p-MOSFET, respectively. The front channel threshold voltages as well as the density of states at the back interface are presented.

This work includes fabrication and electrical characterization of Metal/Interlayer/Semiconductor (MIS) structures with methyl violet organic film on p-InP wafer. Metal(Ag)/ Interlayer (methyl violet =MV)/Semiconductor(p-InP) MIS structure presents a rectifying contact behavior. The values of ideality factor (n) and barrier height (BH) for the Ag/MV/p-InP MIS diode by using the current-voltage (I-V) measurement have been extracted as 1.21 and 0.84 eV, respectively. It was seen that the BH value of 0.84 eV calculated for the Ag/MV/p-InP MIS structure was significantly higher than the value of 0.64 eV of Ag/p-InP control contact. This situation was ascribed to the fact that the MV organic interlayer increased the effective barrier height by influencing the space charge region of inorganic semiconductor. The values of diffusion potential and barrier height for the Ag/MV/p-InP MIS diode by using the capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurement have been extracted as 1.21 V and 0.84 eV, respectively. The interface-state density of the Ag/MV/p-InP structure was seen to change from 2.57×1013 eV-1cm-2 to 2.19×1012 eV-1cm-2.

This work reports on the physical and electrical characterization of the oxide/semiconductor interface in MOS capacitors with the SiO2 layer deposited by a high temperature process from dichlorosilane and nitrogen-based vapor precursors and subjected to a post deposition annealing process in N2O. Low interface state density (Dit ≈ 9.0×1011cm-2eV-1) was found at 0.2 eV from EC, which is comparable to the values typically obtained in other lower temperature deposited oxides (e.g., TEOS). A barrier height of 2.8 eV was derived from the Fowler-Nordheim plot, very close to the ideal value expected for SiO2/4H-SiC interface. Basing on these preliminary results, the integration in MOSFETs devices can be envisaged.

ABSTRACTWe have investigated the structural and electrical properties of as-prepared and rapid thermal oxynitride films on C+ implanted solid phase epitaxially grown SiC. The oxynitride was grown using N2O. The C concentration of the samples was estimated to be 1, 2 and 5 at. %. From the infrared spectra, samples with 1 and 2 at. % carbon showed that the carbon was substitutionally incorporated into the silicon. No precipitation of SiC was detected. However, for the 5 at. % C sample, some precipitation was observed as indicated by a broad peak at ∼800 cm−1. The oxynitride films showed the Si-O-Si stretching mode at ∼1100 cm−1. The shoulder at 980–1067 cm−1 was due to the O-Si-N bond. The peak at 830 cm−1 was due to the Si-N and Si-C bonds and C-O complex vibrational mode was observed at 663 cm−1. Electrical characterization of the oxynitride films was carried out using the MOS capacitor structure. The interface state density was found to range between 5.7×1011 to 3.35×1012 cm−2eV−1 and increased with an increase in the C concentration. The electrical breakdown field was found to be in the range of 5–7 MV cm−1 and reduced with an increase in C concentration. The charge-to-breakdown value was measured and decreased with an increase in C concentration.

ABSTRACTThe electrical properties of the SiO2/SiC interface were studied using the conductance vs voltage (G-V) data for the metal-oxide-SiC (MOS) structure. It was found that the dry oxide contained too mjch charge either at the oxide-SiC interface or within the oxide films to obtain useful data. On the other hand the wet oxide invariably resulted in better capacitance and conductance data. The capacitance-voltage data showed that the SiC surface exhibited accumulation, depletion or inversion when the appropriate gate bias was applied. The conductance-voltage data indicate electronic surface states at the oxide-SiC interface. From this conductance data the interface state density has been estimated.

Constant-capacitance deep-level-transient spectroscopy (CCDLTS) characterization of traps (or states) in SiO2/SiC interfaces on the C-face was carried out to clarify the cause of low-channel mobility of SiC MOSFETs. CCDLTS measurements showed that the interface-state density (Dit) near the conduction band of SiO2/SiC interfaces fabricated using N2O oxidation was much higher than that of SiO2/SiC interfaces fabricated using wet oxidation. The high density of interface states near the conduction band is likely to be the main cause of the low mobility of MOSFETs fabricated using N2O oxidation.

Abstract The effect of post-growth annealing treatment of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanorods on the electrical properties of their heterojunction diodes (HJDs) is investigated. ZnO nanorods are synthesized by the low-temperature aqueous solution growth technique and annealed at temperatures of 400 and 600°C. The as-grown and annealed nanorods are studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Electrical characterization of the ZnO/Si heterojunction diode is done by current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements at room temperature. The barrier height (ϕ B), ideality factor (n), doping concentration and density of interface states (N SS) are extracted. All HJDs exhibited a nonlinear behavior with rectification factors of 23, 1,596 and 309 at ±5 V for the as-grown, 400 and 600°C-annealed nanorod HJDs, respectively. Barrier heights of 0.81 and 0.63 V are obtained for HJDs of 400 and 600°C-annealed nanorods, respectively. The energy distribution of the interface state density has been investigated and found to be in the range 0.70 × 1010 to 1.05 × 1012 eV/cm2 below the conduction band from E C = 0.03 to E C = 0.58 eV. The highest density of interface states is observed in HJDs of 600°C-annealed nanorods. Overall improved behavior is observed for the heterojunctions diodes of 400°C-annealed ZnO nanorods.
