Atomic Layer Etching

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.

Abstract We investigated the effect of interface state density on the field-effect mobility (μ FE) of 4H-SiC counter-doped MOSFETs. We fabricated counter-doped MOSFETs with three types of gate oxides i.e., SiO2, Al2O3 formed via atomic layer deposition, and Al2O3 formed via metal layer oxidation (MLO). A maximum μ FE of 80 cm2/Vs was obtained for the MLO-Al2O3 FET, and this value was 60% larger than that of the SiO2 FET. In addition, we evaluated the electron mobility in the neutral channel (μ neutral) and the rate of increase in the free electron density in the neutral channel with respect to the gate voltage (dN neutral/dV G), which are factors determining μ FE. μ neutral depended only on the channel depth, independent of the type of gate oxide. In addition, dN neutral/dV G was significantly low in the SiO2 FET because of carrier trapping at the high density of interface states, whereas this effect was smaller in the Al2O3 FETs.

Abstract Use of non-contact test techniques to characterize degradation of the Si-SiO2 system on the wafer surface exposed to a plasma environment have proven themselves to be sensitive and useful in investigation of plasma charging level and uniformity. The current paper describes application of the surface charge analyzer and surface photo-voltage tool to explore process-induced charging occurring during plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) of TEOS oxide. The oxide charge, the interface state density, and dopant deactivation are studied on blanket oxidized wafers with respect to the effect of oxide deposition, power lift step, and subsequent annealing.
