The interfacial chemistry of thin Al (∼3 nm) and Hf (∼2 nm) metal films deposited by electron beam (e-beam) evaporation on native oxide InP (100) samples at room temperature and after annealing has been studied by in situ angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low energy ion scattering spectroscopy. The In-oxides are completely scavenged forming In-In/In-(Al/Hf) bonding after Al and Hf metal deposition. The P-oxide concentration is significantly decreased, and the P-oxide chemical states have been changed to more P-rich oxides upon metal deposition. Indium diffusion through these metals before and after annealing at 250 °C has also been characterized. …


Indium Diffusion Through High-K Dielectrics In High-K/Inp Stacks, H. Dong, W. Cabrera, R. Galatage, Santosh Kc, B. Brennan, X. Qin, S. Mcdonnell, D. Zhernokletov, C. Hinkle, K. Cho, Y. Chabal, R. Wallace Aug 2013

Indium Diffusion Through High-K Dielectrics In High-K/Inp Stacks, H. Dong, W. Cabrera, R. Galatage, Santosh Kc, B. Brennan, X. Qin, S. Mcdonnell, D. Zhernokletov, C. Hinkle, K. Cho, Y. Chabal, R. Wallace

Evidence of indium diffusion through high-k dielectric (Al2O3 and HfO2) films grown on InP (100) by atomic layer deposition is observed by angle resolved X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and low energy ion scattering spectroscopy. The analysis establishes that In-out diffusion occurs and results in the formation of a POx rich interface.High mobility III-V channel materials are contenders to replace Si in semiconductor devices like metal oxide semiconductor filed effect transistors (MOSFETs) for the sub 22 nm technology node.1 Extensive research is being carried out to determine the validity of these III-V materials for use as the channel, in a variety of …
