Abstract: The III-V semiconductors materials and in particularly Indium Phosphide are a promising candidates for the elaboration of high speed electronic compounds. The importance of the interface study is increasing considerably in the last years to understand, the mechanism of interface formations and to control perfectly the technology of the elaborated compounds.This study presents an electrical characterization of InP(p)/InSb/Al₂O₃/ Au structures in the range of temperature varying from the temperature of liquid nitrogen to the temperature of 400°K. In order to give the evolution of electrical parameters of these structures with temperature, we have realized Capacitance-Voltage measurements at high frequency for different temperatures. The found results show that there is dispersion in the accumulation region as function with temperature. The quantity of positive charges in the insulator is estimated to 1.37x10¹² atm/cm² at room temperature. This value decreases slightly with increasing temperature. It varies from 1.57x10¹² atm/cm² at 77°K to 1.12x10¹² atm/cm² at 400°K. The interface insulator/semiconductor of our samples presents a good electronical quality, the state density is equal to 4.10¹¹ eV^-1.cm^-2 at room temperature, this one increases from 4.7x10¹⁰ eV^-1.cm^-2 to 7.10¹¹ eV^-1.cm^-2 when temperature increases from 77°K to 400°K.

Abstract: We investigated the magnetic and dielectric properties of a metal (Pt)/insulator (Cr2O3)/semiconductor (Si) (MIS) capacitor composed of magneto-electric (ME) materials. The capacitor has anti-ferromagnetic properties and a very small electrically induced magnetic moment. It also shows capacitance-voltage (C-V) properties typical of a Si-MIS capacitor without any hysteresis. By inserting a thin Cr2O3-x layer, the C-V curve has a hysteresis window with a clockwise trace, which indicates that electrons have been injected into the Cr2O3-x layer. These results indicate that this MIS capacitor contains a floating gate and an ME insulating layer in a single system.
