摘要
Fabrication of GaAs metal-oxide-semiconductor capacitors (MOSCAPs) with an unpinned interface is reported. The MOSCAP structure consists of a few monolayers of germanium grown in a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system in order to terminate an MBE-grown silicon-doped (100) GaAs layer. An ex situ HfO2 high-kappa dielectric with an equivalent oxide thickness of 12 A was deposited by using a dc magnetron sputtering system. A midgap interface state density (D-it) of 5x10(11) eV(-1) cm(-2) was measured using the high-frequency conductance technique. A rapid thermal annealing study was performed in order to examine the integrity of the gate stack at different temperatures. In addition, a forming gas anneal at 400 degrees C appears to significantly reduce the midgap D-it revealed by probing the frequency dispersion behavior of the MOSCAPs.
