研究目的
Investigating the role of HCl treatments on InSb surfaces and InSb-Al2O3 dielectric interfaces, specifically the formation and desorption of InCl3 layers and their effects on electrical characteristics.
研究成果
HCl-IPA treatment forms an InCl3 layer on InSb surfaces, causing a +0.79 V flatband voltage shift in MOSCAPs at 200°C ALD, which reverses at 250°C due to desorption but increases Dit and hysteresis. This provides a method to manipulate threshold voltages for fabricating both enhancement-mode and depletion-mode devices without affecting other figures of merit, though higher temperatures degrade interface quality.
研究不足
The study is limited to InSb substrates and Al2O3 dielectrics; the InCl3 layer desorbs at higher temperatures, increasing Dit and hysteresis, and the material system has immaturity in surface passivation, preventing aggressive scaling of gate dielectrics. Exposure to ambient air during transfer may affect results.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study used X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) to characterize surface layers and metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs) fabricated with atomic layer deposition (ALD) of Al2O3 to assess electrical properties.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Undoped bulk InSb samples (1 cm squares and 2-inch wafers) were used, with specific cleaning treatments (HCl-IPA and HCl-water) and ALD processes at 200°C and 250°C.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes Kratos Axis Ultra DLD spectrometer for XPS, Oxford Instruments OpAL ALD reactor, SVS electron beam evaporator, Leybold RDK 10-320 cryostat, HP 4145 parameter analyser, Agilent E4980A LCR meter. Materials include HCl, IPA, DI water, Al2O3, Al metal, photoresist, and developers.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Samples were cleaned, dried, transferred to vacuum for XPS measurements with annealing steps, then ALD deposition, metal deposition, patterning, and electrical characterization at 80 K using C-V and I-V measurements.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed using CasaXPS software for XPS, and electrical data were processed using Terman, high-low, and conductance methods for Dit extraction, with statistical testing (Steel-Dwass test) for comparisons.
