AbstractMercury annealing of reactive ion etching (RIE) induced p- to n-type conversion in extrinsically doped p-type epitaxial layers of HgCdTe (x=0.31) has been used to reconvert n-type conversion sustained during RIE processing. For the RIE processing conditions used (400mT, CH4/H2, 90 W) p- to n-type conversion was observed using laser beam induced current (LBIC) measurements. After a sealed tube mercury anneal at 200°C for 17 hours, LBIC measurements clearly indicated no n-type converted region remained. Subsequent Hall measurements confirmed that the material consisted of a p-type layer, with electrical properties equivalent to that of the initial as-grown wafer (NA-ND=2× 1016 cm−3, μ=350 cm2.V−1.−1).

Surface Morphologies

A sublimation epitaxial method, referred to as the Closed Space Technique (CST) was adopted to produce thick SiC epitaxial layers for power device applications. In this study, we aimed to systematically investigate surface morphologies and electrical properties of SiC epitaxial layers grown with varying a SiC/Al ratio in a SiC source powder during the sublimation growth using the CST method. It was confirmed that the acceptor concentration of epitaxial layer was continuously decreased with increasing the SiC/Al ratio. The blue light emission was successfully observed on a PN diode structure fabricated with the p-type SiC epitaxial layer. Furthermore, 4H-SiC MESFETs having a micron-gate length were fabricated using a lithography process and their current-voltage performances were characterized.

ABSTRACTReactive ion etching damage to sputtered Pt/PZT/Pt ferroelectric capacitors was studied using Ar and CHCIFCF3 etch gases. Electrical properties, hysteresis, fatigue, and leakage current of PZT capacitors, before and after etching, were compared to examine the etching damage. It is found that the damage effects depend on etching time and are mainly due to the physical bombardment effect. The PZT capacitors etched with CHCIFCF3 plasma showed less damage than those etched in Ar plasma. The electric properties of etched Pt/PZT/Pt capacitors are recovered by annealing at 400 °C for 30min.
