MOS SiO2/GaN structures were fabricated with different surface preparation and different PECVD processes for the dielectric thin film deposition (ECR-PECVD and ICP-PECVD in continuous and pulsed modes). On the basis of C-V curves, the surface preparation steps, involving chemical etching with BOE, UV-Ozone oxidation and oxygen plasma oxidation, were compared in terms of resulting effective charge and interface trap density. A good SiO2/GaN interface quality was achieved for N-type MOS capacitances obtained both with continuousICPPECVD and ECR-PECVD deposition of the SiO2 dielectric. However, the interface quality is greatly reduced for MOS capacitors fabricated on P-type GaN.

N-channel MOSFETs were manufactured on p-type and on p-implanted, n-type 4H-SiC substrates. The electron mobility in the inversion channel was measured to be correlated with the structural and chemical properties determined by transmission electron microscopy. With regard to what was previously discussed in the literature, interfacial layer formation and carbon distribution across the SiC/SiO2 interface were considered in relation with the measured Hall electron mobility.

AbstractThe pinning action on the barrier height of a Ga interfacial layer in an Sb/Ga/GaAs structure prepared by molecular beam epitaxy has been tracked as a function of Ga layer thicknesses for both n and p-GaAs (100). The barrier height ÆBn for n-type GaAs (ND=3×1015cm−3), determined by thermal activation measurements and capacitance measurements, changes from 0.8 to 1.0 eV as the Ga layer is increased from zero to three monolayers. The barrier height ÆBp for p-type GaAs decreases in a converse fashion so that the sum ÆBn + ÆBp is equal to the GaAs energy gap. Up to a Ga layer thickness of about one monolayer the barrier height changes are about linearly proportional to thickness.The action seen is compatible with barrier height changes that are seen when Sb/GaAs junctions are prepared with the original surface alternatively As or Ga rich and subjected to thermal annealing at temperatures up to 250°C.

AbstractTDDB measurements of NMOS capacitor fabricated with 1200°C dry oxide with 1300°C N2O anneal were performed at 175°C and 300°C under high positive bias stress. The devices are biased into strong accumulation mode such that the field in the oxide is high enough to collect breakdown data in a reasonable period of time. We observe that at 175°C, a 100-year Mean Time to Failure (MTTF) is obtained at an electric field of 3 MV/cm in the oxide. The TDDB measurement has also been performed at 300°C where lifetime has been reduced by a few orders of magnitude, but with an acceptable 100-year MTTF. Recent reliability results on similarly oxidized MOSFETs have shown failures along the same trend as the n-type capacitors, indicating that MOSFETs and MOS capacitors can have similar reliability despite inherent processing and structural differences. PMOS capacitors fabricated with the aforementioned dry + N2O process as well as capacitors fabricated using the low DIT nitridation techniques show acceptable MTTF of 100 years at the nominal operating electric field of 3 MV/cm.
