The Interface Properties of La2O3/GaAs System by Surface Passivation

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, La2O3 gate dielectric film was deposited by plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition. we investigate the effect of surface preparation of GaAs substrate, for example, native oxide, S-passivation, and NH3 plasma in situ treatment. The interfacial reaction mechanisms of La2O3 on GaAs is studied by means of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM). As-O bonding is found to get effectively suppressed in the sample GaAs structures with both S-passivation and NH3 plasma surface treatments.
