CONTROLLING OF SCHOTTKY-BARRIER HEIGHTS FOR AU/N-GAAS AND TI/N-GAAS WITH HYDROGEN INTRODUCED AFTER METAL-DEPOSITION BY BIAS ANNEALING

Up to now, in most of the research work done on the effect of hydrogen on a Schottky barrier, the hydrogen was introduced into the semiconductor before metal deposition. This letter reports that hydrogen can be effectively introduced into the Schottky barriers (SBs) of Au/n-GaAs and Ti/n-GaAs by plasma hydrogen treatment (PHT) after metal deposition on [100] oriented n-GaAs substrates. The Schottky barrier height (SBH) of a SB containing hydrogen shows the zero/reverse bias annealing (ZBA/RBA) effect. ZBA makes the SBH decrease and RBA makes it increase. The variations in the SBHs are reversible. In order to obtain obvious ZBA/RBA effects, selection of the temperature for plasma hydrogen treatment is important, and it is indicated that 100-degrees-C for Au/n-GaAs and 150-degrees-C for Ti/n-GaAs are suitable temperatures. It is concluded from the analysis of experimental results that only the hydrogen located at or near the metal-semiconductor interface, rather than the hydrogen in the bulk of either the semiconductor or the metal, is responsible for the ZBA/RBA effect on SBH.

STUDY OF TI/LNP INTERFACE BY PES

The interface of Ti/InP(110) was studied by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy (UPS). It is evident that deposition of Ti on the surface of InP(110) at room temperature introduced a break of the In-P bond and a diffusion of In atoms into the Ti film. The interaction of Ti and P occurred at a temperature of 350-degrees-C.

A STUDY OF THE COMPOSITION DISTRIBUTION AT THE TI/AL2O3 INTERFACE USING THE MCS(+)-SIMS TECHNIQUE

In this article, the MCs(+)-SIMS technique has been used to characterize Ti/Al2O3 metal/insulator interfaces. Our experiment shows that by detecting MCs(+) secondary ions, the matrix and interface effects are reduced, and good depth profiles have been obtained. The experimental result also shows that with the increase of the annealing temperature (RT, 300 degrees C, 600 degrees C, 850 degrees C), the interface gets broadened gradually, indicating diffusion and reaction take place at the interface, and the interface reaction is enhanced with the increase in annealing temperature. When the temperature increases, the AlCs+ signal forms two plateaus in the Ti layer, indicating Al from the decomposition of Al2O3 diffuses into the Ti layer and exists as two new forms (phases). Also, with the increase of the annealing temperature, oxygen diffuses into the Ti layer gradually, and makes the O signal in the Ti layer increase significantly in the 850 degrees C annealed sample.

Homoepitaxial Growth of 4H-SiC and Ti/4H-SiC SBDs

Homoepitaxial growth of4H-SiC on off-oriented Si-face （0001） 4H-SiC substrates was performed at 1500℃ by using the step controlled Epitaxy. Ti/4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes （SBDs） with blocking voltage over lkV have been made on an undoped epilayer with 32μm in thick and 2-5 × 10^15 cm^-3 in carrier density. The diode rectification ratio of forward to reverse （defined at ± 1V） is over 107 at room temperature and over 10^2 at 538K. Their electrical characteristics were studied by the current-voltage measurements in the temperature range from 20 to 265 ℃. The ideality factor and Schottky barrier height obtained at room temperature are 1.33 and 0. 905eV, respectively. The SBDs have on-state current density of 150A/cm^2 at a forward voltage drop of about 2.0V. The specific on-resistance for the rectifier is found to be as 7.9mΩ · cm^2 and its variation with temperature is T^2.0.
