Formation and characterization of nanometer scale metal-oxide-semiconductor structures on GaAs using low-temperature atomic layer deposition

چکیده
Atomic layer deposition ALD grown Al2O3 has excellent bulk and interface properties on III-V compound semiconductors and is used as gate dielectric for GaAs and GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors MOSFETs . The low-temperature LT ALD technology enables us to fabricate 100 nm MOS structures on GaAs, defined by nanoimprint lithography. The electrical characterization of these nanostructured dielectrics demonstrates that the bulk oxide films and the oxide-GaAs interfaces are of high quality even in nanometer scale. The submicron gate length GaAs MOSFET formed by LT-ALD and lift-off process shows well-behaved transistor characteristics. This GaAs MOSFET process is ready to scale the gate length below 100 nm for ultra-high-speed or THz transistor applications. © 2005 American Institute of Physics. DOI: 10.1063/1.1954902

Processing and Characterization of III–V Compound Semiconductor MOSFETs Using Atomic Layer Deposited Gate Dielectrics
We demonstrate III–V compound semiconductor (GaAs, InGaAs, and GaN) based metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors (MOSFETs) with excellent performance using an Al2O3 high-permittivity (high-k) gate dielectric, deposited by atomic layer deposition (ALD).

متن کاملInterface and contact structures for nanoelectronic devices using assemblies of metallic nanoclusters, conjugated organic molecules and chemically stable semiconductor layers
Self-assembly (‘building’) approaches can provide well-controlled structures and assemblies at the nanometer scale, but typically do not provide the specific structures or functionalities required for robust nanoelectronic circuits. One approach to realize high-density nanoelectronic circuits is to combine self-assembly techniques with more conventional semiconductor device and circuit approach...

A systematic capacitance-voltage study has been performed on GaAs metal-oxide-semiconductor MOS structures with atomic-layer-deposited HfO2/Al2O3 nanolaminates as gate dielectrics. A HfO2/Al2O3 nanolaminate gate dielectric improves the GaAs MOS characteristics such as dielectric constant, breakdown voltage, and frequency dispersion.

ALD Al2O3/GaAs and Al2O3/In0.2Ga0.8As MOS and source-drain implanted MOSFET structure were fabricated and characterized by capacitance-voltage (CV) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements. It is shown that, after high-temperature anneal, the MOS leakage current density of the thinner (16nm) film is much higher than that of the thicker (30nm) film. The highquality Al2O3 (30nm)/In0.2Ga0.8As interf...

In this letter, we have investigated the physical and electrical characteristics of atomic layer deposition of HfO2 on GaAs substrates. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy XPS analysis revealed no significant reduction of arsenic oxides upon deposition of HfO2 on GaAs using tetrakis dimethyl-amino hafnium Hf NMe2 4 as the metallic precursor. However, XPS confirmed the absence of arsenic oxides at ...
