dc.description.abstractWe have studied an in situ passivation of In(0.53)Ga(0.47)As, based on H(2)S exposure (50-350 degrees C) following metal organic vapor phase epitaxy growth, prior to atomic layer deposition of HfO(2) using Hf[N(CH(3))(2)](4) and H(2)O precursors. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy revealed the suppression of As oxide formation in air exposed InGaAs surfaces for all H(2)S exposure temperatures. Transmission electron microscopy analysis demonstrates a reduction of the interface oxide between the In(0.53)Ga(0.47)As epitaxial layer and the amorphous HfO(2) resulting from the in situ H(2)S passivation. The capacitance-voltage and current-voltage behavior of Pd/HfO(2)/In(0.53)Ga(0.47)As/InP structures demonstrates that the electrical characteristics of samples exposed to 50 degrees C H(2)S at the end of the metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy In(0.53)Ga(0.47)As growth are comparable to those obtained using an ex situ aqueous (NH(4))(2)S passivation.
