Comparative X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy studies reveal that a low pressure PH3- N2 plasma treatment of In0.53Ga0.47 As results in a smooth and atomically thin (∼1 monolayer) PxNy film as a main product, with a P-for-As anion exchanged layer found beneath the PxNy layer in a practically wide range of process window. The process conditions affect the stoichiometry of the PxNy layer, the amount of phosphorus and nitrogen atoms incorporated, and the degree of the P-for-As exchange reaction. MOSFET devices integrated with metalorganic chemical vapor deposited HfO2 /TaN metal gate on the passivated In 0.53Ga0.47 As substrates have been fabricated by the conventional self-aligned gate-first process and compared to nonpassivated MOSFETs. The excellent interface quality of PxNy passivated In0.53Ga0.47 As/ HfO2 /TaN gate stack has been proven showing suppressed frequency dispersion in inversion capacitance by 82-94% compared to the nonpassivated device and a low subthreshold slope approaching the theoretical value of 60 mV/dec. © 2010 The Electrochemical Society. | Source Title: | Journal of the Electrochemical Society | URI: | http://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/82554 | ISSN: | 00134651 | DOI: | 10.1149/1.3489946 |
