Low-temperature post-oxidation annealing (POA) process of high-reliability thermal oxides grown on 4H-SiC using new apparatus that generates atomic hydrogen radicals by high-temperature catalyzer has been investigated. Atomic hydrogen radicals were generated by thermal decomposition of H2 gas at the catalyzer surface heated at high temperature of 1800°C, and then exposed to the sample at 500°C in reactor pressure of 20 Pa. The mode and maximum values of field-to-breakdown are 11.0 and 11.2 MV/cm, respectively, for the atomic hydrogen radical exposed sample. In addition, the charge-to-breakdown at 63% cumulative failure of the thermal oxides for atomic hydrogen radical exposed sample was 0.51 C/cm2, which was higher than that annealed at 800°C in hydrogen atmosphere (0.39 C/cm2). Consequently, the atomic hydrogen radical exposure at 500°C has remarkably improved the reliability of thermal oxides on 4H-SiC wafer, and is the same effect with high-temperature hydrogen POA at 800°C.

AlGaN/GaN metal-insulator-semiconductor high-electron-mobility transistors (MISHEMT) with a low-temperature epitaxy (LTE)-grown single crystalline AlN gate dielectric were demonstrated for the first time and the post-gate annealing effects at 400 °C were studied. The as-deposited LTE-AlN MISHEMT showed a maximum drain current (IDmax) of 708 mA/mm at a gate bias of 4 V and a maximum extrinsic transconductance (gmmax) of 129 mS/mm. The 400 °C annealed MISHEMT exhibited an increase of 15% in gmmax, an order of magnitude reduction in reverse gate leakage and about a 3% suppression of drain current (ID) collapse. The increase of gmmax by post-gate annealing is consistent with the increase of 2DEG mobility. The suppression of ID collapse and the reduction of gate leakage current is attributed to the reduction of interface state density (5.0 × 1011 cm−2eV−1) between the AlN/GaN interface after post-gate annealing at 400 °C. This study demonstrates that LTE grown AlN is a promising alternate material as gate dielectric for GaN-based MISHEMT application.
