ABSTRACTThe paper presents a systematic study of grown-in and process-induced defects on LEC GaAs substrates. Defects have been revealed by photoetching the wafers with diluted Sirti-like solutions after various processing steps. MESFET arrays have been processed on the wafers and a systematic mapping of the I-V characteristics has been performed. A correlation between various defect configurations and the FET threshold voltage shifts has been established.

ABSTRACTLow temperature (<60° C) processing technologies that avoid potentially damaging processing steps have been developed for devices fabricated from II-VI semiconductor epitaxial layers grown by photoassisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). These low temperature technologies include: 1) photolithography (1 µm geometries), 2) calibrated etchants (rates as low as 30 Å/s), 3) a metallization lift-off process employing a photoresist profiler, 4) an interlevel metal dielectric, and 5) an insulator technology for metal-insulator-semiconductor (MIS) structures. A number of first demonstration devices including field-effect transistors and p-n junctions have been fabricated from II-VI epitaxial layers grown by photoassisted MBE and processed using the technology described here. In this paper, two advanced device structures, processed at <60° C, will be presented: 1) CdTe:As-CdTe:In p-n junction detectors, grown in situ by photoassisted MBE, and 2) HgCdTe-HgTe-CdZnTe quantum-well modulation-doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs).

In this study, we examine the electrical characteristics of p+–n+–i–n+ silicon-nanowire field-effect transistors with partially gated channels. The silicon-nanowire field-effect transistors operate with barrier height modulation through positive feedback loops of charge carriers triggered by impact ionization. Our field-effect transistors exhibit outstanding switching characteristics, with an on current of ˜10−4 A, an on/off current ratio of ˜106, and a point subthreshold swing of ˜23 mV/dec. Moreover, the devices inhibit ambipolar characteristics because of the use of the partially gated structure and feature the p-channel operation mode.
