摘要
Atomic layer epitaxy (ALE) has been employed in the fabrication of extremely low reverse leakage P-i-N junctions. Leakage-limited P-i-N-i-P charge storage capacitors demonstrate a 1/e storage time of over 30 min at room temperature, corresponding to a current density of less than 50 pA/cm2 at 1-V reverse bias for a 160 × 140-μm2 capacitor. These storage times are comparable to those of the best MBE-grown structures reported to date. For the diodes tested, which range in size from 4 × 10-4 to 4.9 × 10 -5 cm3, leakage is dominated by generation around the etched diode perimeter. The relatively small bulk generation current is evidence of the high quality of the ALE-grown junctions. © 1990 IEEE
