Investigations of plasma grown native oxides on indium phosphide carried out recently [1,2] have shown that these oxides exhibit properties which are promising to be used in MIS structures on InP, due to their stable composition which includes [InxPyOz]n polyphosphate phase mainly and due to reduced density of interface states (Nss<1011 eV−1 cm−2). It has been shown also that MIS structures with plasma native oxides exhibit C-V characteristics shifted towards positive values of voltage bias. The flat band shift is assigned to a negative charge injected into oxide film during plasma oxidation. The presence of this negative charge in plasma grown native oxides on InP may cause instability of electric properties of MIS structures [2].The aim of this work was to make an attempt to influence upon negative effective oxide charge density by means of hydrogen plasma treatment.

ABSTRACTEllipsometry and XPS investigations of RF plasma grown native oxide and C-V measurements of its interface were performed.Strong dependence of the composition of the plasma grown native oxides and electric properties of MIS structures on the time of plasma treatment has been observed. The greater the content of stable polyphosphate phase of [InxPyOz] is in the native oxide composition, the better parameters of its interface with InP (NS 11 cm−2 eV−1 and the hysteresis of C-V characteristics≤0.2 V) and the lesser C-V drift after treatment may be achieved. Plasma oxidation results in creating a negative effective oxide charge density.

Wide Gap

ABSTRACTA hydrogen-plasma treatment has been used for the first time to fabricate wide-gap, high-quality a-Si:H films. The hydrogen content (CH) of a-Si:H films substantially increases by the hydrogen-plasma treatment after deposition, without deteriorating the opto-electric properties of the films. The photoconductivity (σph) of ≥ 10-5 ο-1 cm-1, photosensitivity ( σ ph/σ d) of > 106 and SiH2/SiH of <0.2 are achieved for a film with CH of ∼25 atomic >%. The optical gap of the film is > 1.70 eV by the (α h ν )1/3 plot, and is >2 eV by the Tauc's plot. The open circuit voltage of a-Si solar cells exceeds 1 V conserving the fill factor of > 0.7 when the wide-gap a∼Si:H films are used as the i-layer, which proves the wide band gap and low defect density.

High-k material charge trapping nano-layers in flash memory applications have faster program/erase speeds and better data retention because of larger conduction band offsets and higher dielectric constants. In addition, Ti-doped high-k materials can improve memory device performance, such as leakage current reduction, k-value enhancement, and breakdown voltage increase. In this study, the structural and electrical properties of different annealing temperatures on the Nb2O5 and Ti-doped Nb2O5(TiNb2O7) materials used as charge-trapping nano-layers in metal-oxide-high k-oxide-semiconductor (MOHOS)-type memory were investigated using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Analysis of the C-V hysteresis curve shows that the flat-band shift (∆VFB) window of the TiNb2O7 charge-trapping nano-layer in a memory device can reach as high as 6.06 V. The larger memory window of the TiNb2O7 nano-layer is because of a better electrical and structural performance, compared to the Nb2O5 nano-layer.
