Characteristics of In0.7Ga0.3As MOS Capacitors Obtained using Hydrochloric Acid Treatment, Ammonium Sulfide Passivation, Methanol Treatment, and Forming Gas Annealing
Abstract:This paper proposes a chemical pre-treatment process to reduce sulfate prior to atomic layer deposition of Al2O3 gate dielectrics on n-doped In0.7Ga0.3As layers to form metal oxide semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs). Cleaning with methanol was done after hydrogen chloride etching and ammonium sulfide passivation. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy performed on the sample with methanol cleaning indicated that its native oxide regrowth was effectively prevented on the sulfur-passivated In0.7Ga0.3As surface under a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
