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.

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.

Back-grinding process was applied to the 4H-SiC (0001) epitaxial wafers. We found that the parameters about stress increased after back-grinding process. In our work, the characterization of stress on interface state density (Dit) of SiC/SiO2 was investigated. Furthermore, the absorption of peak frequencies was also observed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy attenuated total reflection (ATR-FTIR) analysis, and the Dit of SiC/SiO2 was obtained by quasi-static capacitance voltage (QSCV) measurement as well as C-φs method. The above results suggested that the Dit increased with the increasing grinding-induced stress.

A nitride layer was formed on a SiC surface by plasma nitridation using pure nitrogen as the reaction gas at the temperature from 800°C to 1400°C. The surface was characterized by XPS. The XPS measurement showed that an oxinitride layer was formed on the SiC surface by the plasma nitridation. The high process temperature seemed to be effective to activate the niridation reaction. A SiO2film was deposited on the nitridation layer to form SiO2/nitride/SiC structure. The interface state density of the SiO2/nitride/SiC structure was lower than that of the SiO2/SiC structure. This suggested that the nitridation was effective to improve the interface property.

In this work, we characterized the wet chemical atomic layer etching of an InGaAs surface by using various surface analysis methods. For this etching process, H2O2 was used to create a self-limiting oxide layer. Oxide removal was studied for both HCl and NH4OH solutions. Less In oxide tended to remain after the HCl treatment than after the NH4OH treatment, so the combination of H2O2 and HCl is suitable for wet chemical atomic layer etching. In addition, we found that repetition of this etching process does not impact on the oxide amount, surface roughness, and interface state density. Thus, nanoscale etching of InGaAs with no impact on the surface condition is possible with this method.
