Title
Improvement Of The Interface Quality Of The Al2o3/Iii-Nitride Interface By (Nh4)(2)S Surface Treatment For Algan/Gan Moshfets
Abstract
We performed the (NH4)(2)S surface treatments before Al2O3 deposition to improve the Al2O3/III-Nitride interface quality in Al2O3/AlGaN/GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor heterostructure field-effect transistors (MOSHFETs). Interface state density at the Al2O3/GaN interface was decreased by the (NH4)(2)S treatment. The hysteresis width in I-D-V-GS and g(m)-V-GS characteristics of the Al2O3/AlGaN MOSHFETs with the (NH4)(2)S treatment was smaller than that without the (NH4)(2)S treatment. In addition, transconductance (g(m)) decrease at a large gate voltage was relaxed by the (NH4)(2)S treatment. We also performed ultraviolet (UV) illumination during the (NH4)(2)S treatment for further improvement of the Al2O3/III-Nitride interface quality. Interface state density of the Al2O3/GaN MOS diodes with the UV illumination was smaller than that without the UV illumination.
