    摘要: A high dielectric rare earth oxide of the form Mn2O3 (such as, for example, Gd2O3 or Y2O3) is grown on a clean silicon (100) substrate surface under an oxygen partial pressure less than or equal to 10−7 torr to form an acceptable gate oxide (in terms of dielectric constant (∈˜18) and thickness) that eliminates the tunneling current present in ultra-thin conventional SiO2 dielectrics and avoids the formation of a native oxide layer at the interface between the silicon substrate and the dielectric. Epitaxial films can be grown on vicinal silicon substrates and amorphous films on regular silicon substrates to form the high dielectric gate oxide.

    摘要: We have found that a single crystal, single domain oxide layer of thickness less than 5 nm can be grown on a (100) oriented GaAs-based semiconductor substrate. Similar epitaxial oxide can be grown on GaN and GaN-based semiconductors. The oxide typically is a rare earth oxide of the Mn2 0 3 structure (e.g., Gd2O3). The oxide/semiconductor interface can be of high quality, with low interface state density, and the oxide layer can have low leakage current and high breakdown voltage. The low thickness and high dielectric constant of the oxide layer result in a MOS structure of high capacitance per unit area. Such a structure advantageously forms a GaAs-based MOS-FET.

    摘要: A novel method of forming a GaAs-based MOS structure comprises ion implantation after oxide formation, and subsequent slow heating and cooling, carried out such that essentially no interfacial defects that are detectable by high resolution transmission electron microscopy are formed. If the MOS structure is a MOS-FET then metal contacts are provided in conventional fashion. A post-metallization anneal can result in FETs that are substantially free of drain current/voltage hysteresis. MOS-FETs made according to the novel method can be produced with high yield and can have significantly increased lifetime, as compared to some prior art GaAs-based MOS-FETs.

    摘要: A high quality interface between a GaAs-based semiconductor and a Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 dielectric an be formed if the semiconductor surface is caused to have less than 1% of a monolayer impurity coverage at completion of the first monolayer of the Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 on the surface. This is achieved, for instance, by preparing the surface of a GaAs wafer under UHV conditions in a first growth chamber, transferring the wafer through a transfer module under UHV to a second growth chamber that is also under UHV, and growing the dielectric by evaporation of Ga.sub.2 O.sub.3 from a solid source, the process carried out such that the integrated impurity exposure of the surface is at most 100 Langmuirs. Articles according to the invention have low interface state density (
