In this work, La2O3 gate dielectric film was deposited by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition. we investigate the effect of surface preparation of GaAs substrate, for example, native oxide, S-passivation, and NH3 plasma in situ treatment. The interfacial reaction mechanisms of La2O3 on GaAs is studied by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). As-O bonding is found to get effectively suppressed in the sample GaAs structures with both S-passivation and NH3 plasma surface treatments.

ABSTRACTSelective laser crystallization of undoped polysilicon films has been achieved through the use of a patterned Si3N4 anti-reflection (AR) coating. The recrystallized poly-Si beneath the AR cap exhibits an etch rate 50–90% lower than the surrounding uncapped material, allowing anisotropic etching of poly-Si for the fabrication of MOSFET gates. Undercut is reduced by at least a factor of two from unannealed material. Annealed edge profiles are uniform within ±0.03μm for plasma etching (±0.05 for wet etching) compared to ±0.1μm (± 0.25μm for wet etching) for unannealed regions. The sheet resistivity of 0.5μm films doped by phosphorus diffusion was reduced from an initial value of 82±5 Ω/□ to 40±8 Ω/□ when the dopant was diffused into recrystallized poly-Si and to a final value of 10.2 ± 0.2 Ω/□; after a further laser activation step. Potential applications in VLSIC processing are discussed.

The integration of III-V and Ge materials on Si surface causes many issues with complexity such as lattice mismatch with silicon. In particular, the surface preparation and passivation of InGaAs is very challenging, because the formation of InGaAs/high-K interface is important, but not well understood. For the systematical study of InGaAs surface during wet processes, the effect of various wet etching processes on the surfaces of binary III-V compound semiconductors (GaAs, InAs, GaSb and InSb) was studied from the viewpoints of surface oxidation, material loss (dissolution), and passivation. Based on that, further effort to understand the surface reactions on ternary InGaAs compound semiconductor was made. In addition, process sequential effect on the InGaAs surface was investigated.
