Single crystals of K0.47Na0.53NbO3 (KNN) and Mn-substituted KNN (Mn-KNN, K0.53Na0.47Mn0.004Nb0.996Oy) were grown by a flux method, and the influence of lattice defects on the polarization and leakage current properties was investigated. As-grown KNN did not show an apparent polarization hysteresis loop due to its large leakage current (~10-3 A/cm2). The substitution of 0.4%-Mn at the Nb site and subsequent annealing under a moderate oxidative condition were effective in suppressing the leakage current of KNN crystals. 0.4%-Mn-KNN annealed at 1100°C in air exhibited a low leakage current (~10-8 A/cm2), a relatively large remanent polarization of 40 μC/cm2 and a coercive field of 12 kV/cm at 25°C. The oxidation of Mn and Nb ions during annealing in air is found to play an essential role in the low leakage current of Mn-KNN.

Measurements of the leakage-current and polarization properties in bismuth titanate (Bi4Ti3O12) along the a axis show that the crystals grown in air followed by air annealing at 700oC had a superior remanent polarization of 48 μC/cm2 as well as a low leakage current density of the order of 10-9 A/cm2. The annealing at a high oxygen partial pressure of 35MPa (700oC) resulted in a higher leakage current, indicating that electron holes arising from the incorporation of oxygen at oxygen vacancies act as detrimental carriers for electrical conduction at room temperature. A crystal growth under high-pressure oxygen atmosphere and subsequent annealing at a moderate oxygen partial pressure is proposed to be advantageous for suppressing the vacancy formation and for attaining a large remanent polarization as well as a high insulating property of the Bi4Ti3O12 system.

Single crystals of x (Bi0.5K0.5)TiO3-(1-x)(Bi0.5Na0.5)TiO3 (BKT-BNT) solid solution were grown by a flux method, and their ferroelectric properties were investigated along [100]cubic (the cubic notation). While the flux growth soaked at 1250 °C led to the crystals with a composition of x less than 0.14, the crystals with x of 0.45 were obtained by decreasing soaking temperature to 1150 °C. The crystals of BKT-BNT (x = 0.45) exhibited a relatively large remanent polarization of 39  C/cm2 and a low coercive field of 23 kV/cm.

AbstractA two-step pulsed laser deposition (PLD) process, including PLD at a substrate temperature lower than 150°C and rapid-thermal-annealing (RTA) at around 550°C (30 s), has been successfully applied for growing (Pb0.97La0.03)(Zr0.66Ti0.034)0.9875O3, PLZT, thin films. Interdiffusion between layers is pronouncedly suppressed due to the presence of the SrRuO3 layer, which markedly improves the electrical properties of PLZT films. The PLZT films thus obtained exhibit large remanent polarization P,=19 µC/cm2 (with coercive force Ec=78 kV/cm), low leakage current density J11≤8 × 1O−6 A/cm2 (up to 400 kV/cm) and fatigue free characteristics.

ABSTRACTIII-V compounds such as InGaAs, InAs, InSb have great potential for future low power high speed devices (such as MOSFETs, QWFETs, TFETs and NWFETs) application due to their high carrier mobility and drift velocity. The development of good quality high k gate oxide as well as high k/III-V interfaces is prerequisite to realize high performance working devices. Besides, the downscaling of the gate oxide into sub-nanometer while maintaining appropriate low gate leakage current is also needed. The lack of high quality III-V native oxides has obstructed the development of implementing III-V based devices on Si template. In this presentation, we will discuss our efforts to improve high k/III-V interfaces as well as high k oxide quality by using chemical cleaning methods including chemical solutions, precursors and high temperature gas treatments. The electrical properties of high k/InSb, InGaAs, InSb structures and their dependence on the thermal processes are also discussed. Finally, we will present the downscaling of the gate oxide into sub-nanometer scale while maintaining low leakage current and a good high k/III-V interface quality.

Abstract We fabricated high forward and low leakage current trench MOS-type Schottky barrier diodes (MOSSBDs) in combination with a field plate on a 12 μm thick epitaxial layer grown by halide vapor phase epitaxy on β-Ga2O3 (001) substrate. The MOSSBDs, measuring 1.7 × 1.7 mm2, exhibited a forward current of 2 A (70 A cm−2) at 2 V forward voltage and a leakage current of 5.7 × 10–10 A at −1.2 kV reverse voltage (on/off current ratio of > 109) with an ideality factor of 1.05 and wafer-level specific on-resistance of 17.1 mΩ · cm2.
