ABSTRACTPassivation of III-V semiconductor surfaces and especially the GaAs surface has been studied for over two decades without significant breakthrough. However, III-V device performances are still often limited by surface properties. In particular field effect behaviour in GaAs has been impossible to obtain due to the Fermi level pinning at the surface of this material. This paper presents an integrated sequence of low thermal budget processes to provide contamination control at the GaAs surface leading to very promising field effect on GaAs.In-situ surface cleaning using a Distributed Electron Cyclotron Resonance Microwave plasma (DECR MMP) has been integrated with a thin dielectric film deposition facility using light assisted CVD technics. Photoluminescence results carried out on GaAs surfaces have demonstrated that exposure to a hydrogen plasma induces lower recombination rates on these surfaces. Bulk diffusion of hydrogen during this process can be controlled and eliminated using an integrated Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA). Finally, in-situ encapsulation by a dielectric allows one to stabilize the electronic properties of the surface for passivation applications. A silicon nitride film deposited by a direct UV photolysis deposition process has been developed for this study and is presented here.

AbstractBuried quantum well structures have been fabricated in GaAs/AIGaAs system using an in situ lithography process. The process utilizes an ultrathin oxide layer formed in situ on a GaAs surface as a mask against Cl2 gas etching. An electron beam (EB)-induced Cl2 gas etching is used to locally remove the oxide mask for positive-type lithography. For negativetype lithography, the oxide mask is selectively formed on a GaAs surface by EB-stimulated oxidation. Subsequent Cl2 gas etching results in the formation of isolated quantum wells. After removing the oxide mask, overgrowth using molecular beam epitaxy is successfully carried out on the patterned surface. The cathodoluminescence image of the buried quantum well demonstrates the high quality of the resulting structure formed by this “in situ EB lithography” process. The photoluminescence intensity from the quantum well of the processed sample is proved to be the same order of magnitude compared with that from a successively grown sample, showing that the use of the oxide mask causes no serious degradation in the processed interface.

GaAs surface composition changes occurring during Al film growth using the CBE method with laser assistance were investigated in situ by means of laser reflectivity. The results were compared with data on precise chemical analyses and X-ray microanalyses carried out after film deposition. It was found that the peculiarity of film formation depended upon the laser power. Physicochemical interactions of the Ga atoms from the GaAs surface, with atoms and molecules from the surrounding media, are determinative reactions at a laser power of 2W. At a power of 0.02W, the laser reflectivity changes were mainly due to reactions with Al. The appearance of “free” Ga and As in the region outside of the laser spot indicated the destruction of GaAs islands weakly connected with the GaAs surface.
