Abstract
Interface and oxide defects in surface-channel In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As n-MOSFETs, featuring a threshold voltage, V T , of 0.43 V, a subthreshold swing, SS, of 150 mV/dec, an I ON /I OFF of ~ 10 4 and a source/drain resistance, R SD , of 103 Ω, have been investigated using “split C-V” measurements and self-consistent Poisson-Schrödinger quasi-static C-V simulations. An integrated density of traps across the In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As band gap at the Al 2 O 3 /In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As interface, N Trap , of ~ 7.8 × 10 12 /cm 2 , has been obtained from a comparison of the theoretical and experimental quasi-static C-V responses, where N Trap reflects the combined contribution of interface traps and border traps. An equivalent surface density of fixed positive oxide charges, N + , of 1.4 × 10 12 /cm 2 is also reported. Finally, the application of the Maserjian Y-function to the Al 2 O 3 /In 0.53 Ga 0.47 As MOS system is briefly discussed.
