摘要
HfO2 was deposited on n- and p-type In0.53Ga0.47As by chemical beam deposition. Interface trap densities (D-it) and their energy level distribution were quantified using the conductance method in a wide temperature range (77 to 300 K). A trap level close to the intrinsic energy level caused the D-it to rise above 10(13) cm(-2) eV(-1). The trap level at midgap gives rise to false inversion behavior in the capacitance-voltage curves for n-type channels at room temperature. The apparent decrease of the D-it close to the band edges is discussed. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics. [doi: 10.1063/1.3360221]
