研究目的
Investigating the effect of forming gas annealing on the C-V characteristics and stability of Al2O3/SiC MOS capacitors deposited by atomic layer deposition.
研究成果
The use of POA in forming gas is a suitable route to the realisation of high performance MOSFET structures and enables flexibility in terms of the process flow and overall thermal budget. Hydrogen passivation by annealing in forming gas has shown good results for Al2O3/SiC MOS characteristics. However, the optimization of POA in hydrogen gas between 500°C to 1050°C is the key to improving the electrical and interface characteristics of Al2O3/SiC.
研究不足
The reliability properties of Al2O3 in terms of leakage current and oxide breakdown voltage degraded due to the crystallization of Al2O3 layer at high annealing temperatures.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the deposition of amorphous Al2O3 on HF dipped 4H-SiC samples by means of atomic layer deposition at a substrate temperature of 300°C. Trimethylaluminum (TMA) and H2O were used as precursor and oxygen source respectively.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
N-type 4H-SiC, 8° off axis with a nitrogen concentration of
3:8×1015 cm?3 was used in this experiment. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Samples were cleaned using solvents, treated with piranha solution prior to standard RCA cleaning followed by sacrificial oxidation at 1150°C for 1 hour.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The samples were subjected to post oxide annealing at 450°C and 1050°C in forming gas (5% of H2 diluted by N2). Aluminium was evaporated for the gate metal. For the formation of the back contact, Titanium (5 nm)/Nickel (100 nm) were deposited on the highly doped backside of the samples and annealed at 1050°C for 200s in forming gas.
