研究目的
Investigating the performance of high-k/n-InAlAs MOS capacitors with HfO2–Al2O3 laminated dielectric for applications in InAs/AlSb and InAlAs/InGaAs high-electron mobility transistors.
研究成果
The HfO2–Al2O3/n-InAlAs MOS capacitor with a HfO2 thickness of 4 nm and an Al2O3 thickness of 8 nm demonstrated superior performance, including lower leakage current and higher conduction band offset, making it suitable for applications in high-electron mobility transistors.
研究不足
The study did not investigate the leakage current mechanism in detail, which is planned for future work. The impact of the thickness ratios of HfO2 and Al2O3 on device performance was not fully explored.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved fabricating and comparing MOS capacitors with different HfO2 and Al2O3 thickness ratios.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples included a simple HfO2/n-InAlAs MOS capacitor and two HfO2–Al2O3/n-InAlAs MOS capacitors with different thickness ratios.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Atomic force microscope (AFM), Focused Ion beam (FIB), scanning electron microscope (SEM), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) were used for physical characterization. Capacitance–voltage (C–V) and current–voltage (I–V) tests were conducted for electrical characterization.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The MOS capacitors were fabricated using atomic layer deposition (ALD) for the dielectric layers, followed by post-deposition annealing (PDA) and electrode deposition.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The equivalent oxide thickness (EOT), effective density of oxide charges (Neff), and conduction band offset (?ECB) were calculated from the test results.
